😂😅 One of the very best British comedy legends there ever was, and ever will be !. This comedian make me laugh no other before or since. RIP Benny Hill. 😊
Benny was a one off!!, 😂😂 a comic Genius!!.. And a legend, very much missed 👏❤️........
When I was a teenager, I enjoyed the comedy, though I didn't get some of the British references. The scantily clad women were a pleasant sight to my young eyes. Now, as a man in my late 50s, I still enjoy the show.

FactsVerse is notorious for getting everything wrong. They have probably created the thumbnail just to get people to point out it is Don Estelle, hence improving the algorithm of the video.

Thank you ❤
I was A Huge Fan, especially of his Musical Numbers, which were both comical & very great tunes.
Great memories. Thank you for reviving them.
Was a great show, I sat up and watched it with my dad as a young kid. Great memories
Benny Hill was hilarious, grew up in the seventies.. and it was what it was.. that theme tune is iconic for any chase.
Love this video!
I like Benny's humor .... I recall this skit on his show... In it, Benny had complained about the sexually suggestive posters on the subway walls of the escalators.... Officer : "But surely the speed of the escalators would make viewing of these posters very minimal ?" Benny : "I disagree, if you go down on the escalator that is going up, you can spend a lot of viewing each poster!"
Estelle as Hill. And this herbert has the cheek to call his channel *FACTS* Verse.... 😆

Yeah great thumbnail. Don Estelle was brilliant in Bennyy Hill 🤦🏻
Benny hill was great but when political correction came he no longer suited the tv its a shame he didnt try straight acting mind you he did blow up the van in the italion job😊
What a stupidly depressing title and subject for a YT video. OFFS...
As a young guy watching this it was even then out dated, clearly sexist and well generally unfunny. Thankfully we had Monty python, Fawlty Towers
