Leave Benny alone. BTW isn’t that the chick from Frazier in that pic. I know she started out on the Benny Hill Show.

I think you're right. And I have nothing but admiration for Benny, I think that he probably met one of the saddest ends when he was discovered slumped over in his cushioned chair at home, apparently suffered a fatal heart attack, and what was the last thing playing on his TV when he was found?

You know it: 'The Benny Hill Show'.

I heard a bit of rumor years ago that the British actor Robert Carlyle (Full Monty, Ravenous, etc) was invited to portray Benny Hill in a bio-pic of his life, and Carlyle turned it down, saying that he didn't think he could do Benny's style of comedy justice.

Benny was way ahead of the curve.

I didn't know she started out on the Benny Hill show! When I looked at the picture, and before I read your comment, I was trying to place her, then, in my mind, I heard her voice, from the few times I've seen parts of the show, and realized who she was.

Benny Hill was ok, but we could only take it in small doses. A little TOO sophomoric for us.

I’ll be danged. That COULD be Jane Leeves. Her IMDB.com filmography says she started as one of “Hill’s Angels” in the early to mid-eighties.
