[Greenman]

Utter tosh! If he wasn't that funny he wouldn't have appealed to the Americans, the French, the Germans etc. And he wouldn't have won one of the highest awards a comedian can win AND be awarded it by another comedy great the late Charlie Chaplin. I freely admit that this man catered for my early teens - who cared whether he was chased by girls clothed or scantily-clad, that was the whole point of it - a grown man behaving like an idiot with gorgeous babes. I might also add that women found Benny Hill very funny - you can always hear them hooting with laughter in the audience. He was absurd as a woman and he was embarrassing as a man chasing women but that was the point - the women ALWAYS turned the tables on HIM in the end, which was why he appealed to many. He was a genius and those of us genuine fans miss him a lot.
