The Benny Hill Show is a British comedy television show starring Benny Hill that aired in various forms between 15 January 1955 and 1 May 1989 in over 140 countries. The show consisted mainly of sketches that were full of slapstick, mime, parody, and double entendre (which could be described as a filmatographic version of British saucy seaside postcard humour).
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.[2] 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 version of the show found popularity in the United States and would run in syndication until 1990. In 1980 and 1981 it received Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Variety. In 1984 Hill received a Rose d'Or.
Thames cancelled production of the show in 1989 due to declining ratings and large production costs at £450,000 (equivalent to £1,144,600 in 2020[3]) 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.[4]
