Did you know
- TriviaMore than 90% of the material, both musical and scripted, was written by Benny Hill himself. He also frequently directed the show.
- Alternate versionsFor syndication in the United States, Benny's specials were edited down into half-hour episodes, typically removing obscure British references, the guest musical number (in earlier shows) and the Hill's Angels dance routines (in the early 1980s ones). Later, the syndicators simply took a complete Benny Hill episodes and cut it into two halves, regardless of material/British references.

Featured review
The King Of British Comedy
There was a time on Earth when all of the world stopped to watch The Benny Hill Show. Businesses would close, people stayed home and every tv in the world in every house tuned in to watch this man who just wanted to make us laugh. And laugh we did. The world died when his show stopped, and it cried when he left this mortal realm. Labeled a dirty old man for the content of the material in less than a quarter of his sketches, he was considered a genius by his fans and his peers for the other seventy-five percent. Even Thames Television admitted far too late that cancelling the show was the worst mistake they had ever made. Letting it go was a knife in Benny's side, a heartbreak that led to his death, but what a great legacy of humor !
