I don’t know if Benny Hill is worth a statue. After all, we’re not talking about the Duke of Wellington here.

But by golly, he sure was funny (Benny Hill, not the Duke of Wellington).

Here’s a little Benny Hill for a Sunday Afternoon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV3LoomRlqA

If things keep going the way they are in the world it will be taken down because he’s just another white guy.

I think he is worth a statue AND a national holiday off work...

He was, he deserves a statue and eternal recognition but realize he was England's version of a burlesque comedian who went to the Well of Naughty when brilliance would have sufficed...but then again knew his audience.

I say this because my own father was a comedic magician of that era who came through vaudeville, burlesque and eventual obscurity. Buddy O'Day was a master magician who showed me sketches of illusions that some of David Copperfield would eventually rediscover on his own and use...but his abrasive personality off stage taught me more of how NOT to go about. RIP dad.

Now I’ll be hearing this all day in my head.

He deserves a statue just so Ben Elton can complain about him again.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Have they put up a Jimmy Saville statue yet?

By “todays” standards it would come across a bit mean (not mine) when Benny skit after skit would slap the top of Jackie Wrights head. Funny as hell in my book.
