I was young and impressionable and no doubt had no business watching his shows and loving his comedic antics, still though, I'm proud to say that I lived during a time when he shared his artistry with the world. You were loved Mr. Hill, and your legacy will live on. Thank you for the many years of joy and laughter you gifted me. I know your birth place of Southampton is still proud to call you their own. Strangely enough, I'm a long time supporter of the musical artist Craig David, who too was born and raised in Southampton England.🙂🇺🇲❤🇬🇧

Benny Hill was as you observe pointing out how silly most men become at the sight of an attractive female, especially those in various stages of undress. The girls in his shows weren't victims of sexual exploitation. They had a ball poking fun at the sheer daftness of men, which Benny's take got totally correct.

      Strange. What is and what isn't acceptable these days. Unacceptable to laugh at a sketch of a man who's been distracted by a woman's form. Yet perfectly acceptable to have a sitcom about a married man with children who decides to become a woman. And watching his family try to adjust to it. HA! HA!

      @James Henderson - Like the openly gay Garth Ancier, who in 2007 as head of BBC America cancelled repeats of Hill's show and justified it with the usual cultural Marxist excuse that it was "no longer relevant" in today's society - while seeking to put shows promoting homosexuality and transgenderism in its place? Ancier - and Bryan Singer, and David Neuman and Gary Goddard - all have a lot to answer for, in terms of what they did to underaged boys.
