Benny Hill

Benny Hill was a highly prolific one-man powerhouse of comedy, achieving national television stardom during the 1960s, 70s and 80s when he wrote, starred in, and composed music for a string of hugely popular sketch series, primarily for ITV. Appearing in film, on radio and with a highly successful novelty record career, Benny's later Thames Television shows also became highly successful in the USA.
