    All the women running around were innocent victims

    It is a pity the way women were bullied by other women to stop chasing fat men around in their underwear for money. What was the problem?

    I would quite happily chase a few fat birds around a field wearing womens' underwear for a laugh, all you ever have to do is ask.

    OP, if you're concerned about being corrupted by Benny Hill, keep away from "Carry On," "Are you being Served" and "On The Buses."

    None of those things have aged well.

    You will find you are wrong there. He was known to have relationships with women. He was certainly a little odd and former dancers on the show have said they had sexual relationships with him although it sounded a bit strange. More like certain dancers pleasured him and it was never mentioned outside of his flat.

    Wrong? I'm open to being wrong. But you good man are not certainly right either.
    Rumors about his sexuality came about. Which he laughed off. He led an unusual lifestyle people said tho.

    Fact is the only man who could ever tell you whats what is him and he is not with us. So many others who knew him simply say they never really knew the deal.

    I thought he was hilarious when I was about seven or eight years old. His comedy wouldn't do anything for me now but it's harmless enough.

    Ernie is still a great song though.

    He is also in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and very hard to spot in Monty Python's Meaning of Life as he has heavey makeup and a dread wig on. He is they guy who had his organs removed while alive as he agreed to be an organ donor.

    Modern TV won't hold up well either. The likes of Love Island are just thin excuses to show scantily clad people. Lots or gawker TV around and fake reality TV will be frowned upon.

    That was Terry Gilliam not Benny Hill.

    A genius.
    But I think the Golden Age of television was 1960-1989, not now.

    Fond memories of watching The Benny Hill Show in the 1980s. Still entertaining now.
