Famed now for his bawdy, 'naughty boy' seaside-postcard humour, Hill was actually one of the cleverest and most innovative of comedians working in television in the 1950s and 1960s. The saucy, sex-obsessed sketches seemingly decorated with acres of scantily-clad young women (for which he is mainly remembered) came later; their preponderance in his shows eventually leading to Hill becoming an unworthy victim of political correctness.

BENNY HILL. Born (Alfred Hawthorn Hill) in Southampton, Hampshire, England, 21 January 1925. Indisputably one of the last great masters of a deceptively complex and sophisticated brand of visual humour, Hill's modest genius effortlessly transcended national and cultural boundaries, and in the process confirmed his international standing as one of greatest clown's of the late twentieth century.

Although the man himself is no longer with us, as long as an audience exists for truly inspired visual comedy, the name Benny Hill will always be synonymous with genuine comedic quality.
