I only saw it one time waay late a night. On the Benny Hill Show he had a group of men; one from Australia, one form Scotland, one from Ireland, one that was a Cockney, one that spoke high classed English and a Welshman.
They are sitting in a small room trying to discuss something and the more they talk in their own dialect the less they understand each other. Quite funny.

Post Benny Hill

I miss him greatly .

Many Americans didn't quite get his often sly sense of humor .

Thumbs up Benny Hill

yes ;

He was all about the boobies but his humor was often much deeper and sly than that .

I enjoyed him in the 1960's as well, he never really made it to the North American market until the 1990's with his TV show but he was a regular character actor in lots of movies .

I watched the "Feed the World" episode of Grand Tour the other night. Several examples of the proper use of "bollocks".....
