That last bit you could lay the blame squarely on the 'alternative' comedians like French & Saunders, Ben Elton, Rik Mayall & Adrian Edmondson(The Dangerous Brothers) and yes even Alan Davies. They were anti Benny Hill and the type of humour they saw as sexist & outdated. The papers jumped on this, when I say papers I mean tabloids like The Sun & Daily Mail, who started a campaign against him. Thames TV treated him very badly, the way they let him go was disgraceful and although I will admit that Benny never moved with the times, it was not the way to treat a man that sold his shows worldwide and made Thames very rich.

In the documentary that went out on Benny Hill, one woman ex page 3 girl Cheryl(Cherry) Gilham virtually admitted to giving him a blowjob or two when she went round to see him. Anyone that says that Benny might have been gay is laughable. He got most of us through puberty in a way we won't see the like of which again.
