Benny Hill

[Baz]

Used to come on late at night. Always cheered me up when I came home on Saturday night with a buzz on but empty handed (no date) after cruising the local saloons.....

It was a very funny show. He had many hysterical skits.

Steak and kinky pudding! Another skit that I remember is when the doctor's sign reads "The rapist" and Benny corrects it to "Therapist". Silly but funny. Loved that show as a kid, especially the cute "birds".

Can't hear 'Yakkity Sax" without immediately thinking of this show and the "Thames" production logo afterwards.

Dave Allen At Large was also a good late night watch--a tad more highbrow than the Hill humor.

What, nothing is more high brow that Benny Hill! It is the epitome of class and style. Just like me.

Myra Foot I believe her name was? She was Mr. Rumsfeld's secretary for a short stint. I reckon she was pretty long legged. Total doll!

I have one funny one on you tube saved, but for the life of me I cant get it down loaded, too difficult on this forum..

[GH85Carrera]

Just play the video on Youtube, and right click the video. You will see several choices, one of them is embed video. Click that and the just paste it in the reply box on Pelican. Very easy.

It's a shame that old shows like this (and others) are no longer allowed. The politically correct movement seems to think that all humor is hateful when it was just playing around in both directions. Other shows that come to mind: All in the Family, anything Mel Brooks, etc..)

PC is temporary, they are whiners and will grow up at some point, because all pre 2000 sit coms are hilarious, and anybody that dosnt see that is a chunk of useless meat...Pc is one generation of special ed people, they will be replaced, no prob! Classic comedy for-ever!

Not sure what gave you that idea, I'm watching All in the Family right now, over the air, on GETTV. Grab an antennae and hook it up to your digital TV.

Moira Foot post some searching.



Benny Hill was a genius. This outfit with Moira. Who thinks like this? Sir Isaac Newton? The guy in the wheelchair (as coined by Homer Simpson)?

Matt is correct, Vern.

But I know what you were saying.

Shows like this are no longer shown on the mainstream networks.

But like Matt, I tend to watch more content on the alternative/vintage stations - for me on cable mostly - but I also have a dedicated TV on antenna and can pick up quite a few stations with it - with true HD!

I like the old westerns mostly like Gunsmoke, The Virginian, Rawhide, Wild Wild West, The High Chapperal, The Rifleman, Have Gun Will Travel, Wanted Dead or Alive, The Big Valley, Bonanza, and Alias Smith and Jones. Then there's non-westerns like Adam 12, Dragnet, Hawaii Five-O, Black Sheep Squadron, Combat, The Rat Patrol, Twelve O'Clock High, MASH, and probably the best TV show ever created....Star Trek....with Miami Vice coming in at second place.

I don't really know off the top of my head when and on what channel old Benny Hills are aired, but they probably are.

There's also Law and Order plus it's spin offs, House, Jag, The District, Monk, Cheers, Hill Street Blues, Frasier, NYPD Blue, Nash Bridges, and a host of other classics worth watching.

I haven't even mentioned the movies - but if you've perused the movie thread, you'll see I've also enjoyed that category.

Probably because I'm old, but the only "modern" TV show - and in particular sitcom - that I always enjoy is "The Big Bang Theory' which never fails to make me laugh.

Thank the Lord for these alternative TV channels and for You Tube, eh?

Excellent fun!
