The Benny Hill Show is a British comedy television show starring Benny Hill that aired in various forms between 15 January 1955 and 16 May 1991 in over 140 countries. The show consisted mainly of sketches that were full of slapstick, mime, parody and double entendre. Thames Television cancelled production of the show in 1989 because of declining ratings and large production costs at £450,000 per show.
