Hero,but his best stuff was from the 1970's and early 1980's. Since a lot of his material was pantomime,he was even popular in non-english speaking countries. | ||

Benny Hill got away with murder. Hero or Villain ? Ask the girls who were subject to his "interviewing" techniques and his "continuous assessment" as to whether or not they stayed in the show. I didn't find him particularly amusing, certainly not groundbreaking. So it's "villain", I guess for me. | ||
