Benny Hill in New York Special - Common Cold Research Center

[nickdecarlo76]

Poor Bob Todd just a year older then Benny and looked much older, died only several months after Benny did. He too was a heavy drinker...

[yogafan6500]

He's Dicklass XDDDDDDDDD I love Benny Hill.

[urmo345]

Never seen it before, still after 20 years makes me LOL

[beenwronged]

I never saw this TV special all the way through - just parts of it. He was funny even at the end of his career. Antenna TV station - Friday and Saturday nights his show is still on here in the US. Almost 20 yrs after his death and he is still on TV - Incredible! That is staying power..........

Benny was terrific. Sadly, though, one more victim of the criminal tobacco pushers and their ILLEGAL weapon of mass destruction.

BAN THE ILLEGAL TOBACCO DRUG, NOW!

[nickdecarlo76]

@tripjet999 Smoking had nothing to do with his death...bad eating and drinking habits did...especially after he was fired from Thames TV...he began to eat and drink more and it went unchecked for two years before his death...

[HOLLYWOODCASANOVA]

HAH!!! :) HAH!! :)

[HOLLYWOODCASANOVA]

HAH :) HA!!! :)

[thebennyhillchannel]

FYI: Bob Todd died six months after Benny did.

[Capng123]

@thebennyhillchannel Jackie Wright died only a few years earlier, explaining his notable absence in this special.

[thebennyhillchannel]

This was produced, written and made in New York in 1991, I believe. One year before Benny Hill's death.

FYI. Did you know that Benny lived with his mother until six months before he died? She died six months before he did. They lived in a two storey flat, but he never used the second floor. He died of a heart attack on April 20, 1992. A friend found Benny Hill on the floor dead and asked the EMS if he could fix his Benny's hair because Benny Hill always had nice hair in public.

[FreakKeeper]

@thebennyhillchannel Actually he owned the family home, he didn't live there. According to Wikipedia, "His mother died in 1976 at age 82, and Hill kept the family house at 22 Westrow Gardens in Southampton as a shrine to her, not changing a thing." After her death in 1976, he kept the house as a shrine to her...

[MiddleMadMen]

@thebennyhillchannel no she didnt she died in 78 him in 92 explain how she died 6 months after

[nickdecarlo76]

@MiddleMadMen his mother died in 1976 at the age of 82

[nickdecarlo76]

@thebennyhillchannel His mother died in 1976

[nickdecarlo76]

@thebennyhillchannel On April 22, 1992, after several days of unanswered telephone calls, his producer friend, Dennis Kirkland, climbed a ladder to the balcony of Hill's 3rd floor apartment and upon seeing the body through a window had the neighbors call the police. The police broke into the apartment and found Hill, dead, sitting in his armchair in front of the television. Hill's cause of death was recorded as coronary thrombosis.[

[Soldatsmoonsong]

@thebennyhillchannel You need to check your facts. His mother died in 1976, and he died in a rented apartment. He kept the home after his mother died but did not live there, it was more of a shrine in her memory. 1992 February 24 his doctors told him he needed a heart bypass, he declined. 1992 April 20 Mr. Hill died, his death was not found out about until April 22 after Dennis Kirkland called his apartment several times and was not answered.

[tsangari]

What a find! Was this ever transmitted in the UK? I say this cos the TV authority at the time (the IBA) told Thames TV off and then he was sacked in 1989.

[england4ever93]

@tsangari benny's new special was aired on the uk in two 30 minute parts under the title benny hill unseen on 12 april 1994 and 16 may 1994 and thames reasons for sacking benny was declining audience ratings and £500,000 cost per episode but they told benny in such an offhand manner they were sacking him.

and benny's 1988 and 1989 series was repeated by thames in 1992 and a contract from central for a new series came on the day benny sadly died.

[england4ever93]

I LOVED Benny so much! Such a shame he died much too young, and many of the other brilliant actors on his show have passed away, as well. This is one of my favorite sketches!
