[Greenman]

Benny was an entertainer and the likes of Jimmy Carr and Leigh Francis(why do they think that Keith Lemon is his real name for gods sake?) are a comedian/git respectively and not even in the same bracket as Hill. I agree that Thames treated Benny very badly and the way he was sacked was cowardly. As a teenager it wasn't him so much I freely admit it was the girls that got us watching, but as we got older I think we appreciated the immense time and energy he put into his shows especially when he would play anything up to 4-5 different characters in one scene. He is a national treasure and should have been treated better. No-one since has earned the praise of such dignitaries as Charlie Chaplin and Burt Reynolds!
