Quote: Michael Monkhouse @ April 21, 2007, 12:30 PMWho gives a toss? Benny Hill was the most overrated, overpaid and undertalented comic ever. Half-naked women running around, him speeded-up on a motorbike, one-liners straight out of joke books for the under-fives. Are people sorry he's gone? Well that IS funny.
Ouch - bit harsh - the guy wasn't some evil comic dictator!
I'm sure his family wish he was still around for starters. The guy pulled in many millions of viewers in his day (including women) - it was harmless postcard humour that made people laugh. OK, so it wouldn't work in today's world but we're not talking about today's world.
