Wiki.
The Benny Hill Show is a British comedy television show starring Benny Hill that aired on the BBC and ITV between 15 January 1955 and 1 May 1989. The show consisted mainly of sketches typified by slapstick, mime, parody, and double entendre.
At its peak, The Benny Hill Show was among the most-watched programmes in the UK with the audience reaching more than 21 million viewers in 1971. In 1972, Hill received a BAFTA Television Award for Best Writer, and he was nominated for the BAFTA for Best Entertainment Performance. In the late 1970s, the Thames Television edited version of the show gained a cult following in the United States, where it was broadcast in syndication until 1991. In 1980 and 1981, the show received Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Variety Series. In 1984, Hill received a Rose d'Or.
In 1989, Thames cancelled production of The Benny Hill Show due to declining ratings and increased production costs at £450,000 (equivalent to £1,414,100 in 2023) per show. In a 2015 UK poll, the show's theme song was voted number 1 on the ITV special The Sound of ITV – The Nation's Favourite Theme Tune.
