Very typical Seventies comedy - lots of pretty girls (Hill's Angels) running around in short dresses being chased by a lecherous man. Spoken comedy also contained a fair bit of double entendre, but there was wit there too! Finest moment probably his hit single "Ernie (~the Fastest Milkman In The West)"

Benny worked compulsively and had only a few friends, although colleagues who knew him closely insist that he was never lonely, but content with his own company. He never married, although he did propose to two women — one the daughter of a British writer — and was rejected by both. He never owned his own home, nor even a car, instead preferring to rent a small flat in Teddington, a convenient walking distance to the Teddington Studios, where he taped his shows. His mother lived with him until her death shortly before his. Travelling was the one luxury he consistently permitted himself. Hill became a first-degree Francophile, enjoying frequent visits to Marseilles. Until the 1980s, he could enjoy the anonymity of France's outdoor cafes, public transport, and socializing with local women. Besides mastering French, Benny also could 'get by' speaking German, Dutch and Italian in his travels. Hill's overseas holidays were often gathering missions for comedic material, some newly inspired by foreign surroundings, or borrowed from regional acts. Hill was a distant relative of the Australian actress and singer Holly Valance (Hill's cousin being Valance's grandfather). Following his death, rumours circulated that despite his celebrity and on-air lecherous characterisations, Hill was very shy when it came to women, and he may have died a virgin.[citation needed]

Benny Hill was a comedian. I found him pretty pervy, usually with his theme tune behind him, chasing girls in their underwear around, very bizarre.
