Benny Hill:
His grandfather was the one who introduced him to the world of entertainment and theater. Inspired by the music hall comic, thought of giving a touch to the business of the stage. He changed his name to Benny Hill, with a small tribute to his favorite comedian Jack Benny.
Alfred Hawthorn Hill better known as Benny Hill starred in the legendary series of absurd humor called“The Benny Hill Show”or “The Benny Hill Show”; Jokes, lots of room, lots of animals and a lifelong love for the double meaning are the seasonings in this series.
It was a British actor, best known for his years working as a pair of Benny Hill. He worked in supporting roles in film and television, speaking in such productions as The Saint and The Avengers, but his most memorable activity is related with humorous roles, notably his involvement as a serious interviewer on the Benny Hill show.
John "Jackie" Wright:
He was an Irish comedian, best-known for being the bald-headed sidekick of Benny Hill on his television programme for one and a half decades. In many of the show's trademark accelerated-motion scenes, Hill would often pat Wright's bald head rapidly, the motion being accompanied by dubbed-in smacking sounds. Actress Suzy Mandel recently told Gram Pontante's website that "Jackie Wright was a chain smoker and he would often hide his cigarette in his mouth or behind his back during scenes. In fact, you could often see a little plume of smoke rising behind him if you looked close enough.
Nicholas Parsons:
He is an English actor and radio and television presenter.
The Ladybirds:
The Ladybirds are a British female vocal harmony trio, most famous for their appearances in The Benny Hill Show. They participated in over 60 episodes between 1969 and 1991. In addition, they were long-standing backing singers to many established artists, and perennial television performers.
Summary:
Popular comedy series consists of sketches presented and featuring Benny Hill, a British comedian whose humor was characterized mainly by its rogue behavior, almost childlike, and his weakness for women scantily clad.
In Spain was a great success in the early 90's, with its broadcast on private channel Telecinco, although the Spanish public broadcaster TV show issued intermittently during the 80's. Shortly before his death he traveled to Spain as a guest on the show "Nights of such and such", where there was a small soft slap fight between host of Jesus Gil y Gil and Benny Hill himself.
Personal comment
In his day we saw this series has been described as sexista.I laughed a lot with it, but today I recognize that it's actually quite sexist, why in Britain has been suspended from issue, its has created much controversy.
