Benny Hill is known for characters like Fred Scuttle, Maurice Dribble, The Halitosis Kid, and Barney the Disgruntled Husband.
He has also performed songs on the shows sometimes impersonating celebrities in the process. In 1992, shortly after making an American special, which was supposed to launch a world-wide tour, Benny Hill passed away...ending a legacy of great comedy.
At the peak of his career he limited himself to just 5 episodes of the "Benny Hill Show" per year. He has been seen in over 100 countries worldwide, and was especially popular in Cuba and Russia, where viewers would point their aerials towards Finland to pick him up.
Other cast members on the show are Henry McGee, Bob Todd, Jack Wright, Jon Jon Keefe , Jenny Lee Wright, Sue Upton, Louise English, Helen Horton, Anna Dawson, all creating a great programme with lots of laughs.
