  • @MrThecarebear - At least he realized it, eventually. In fact, he went on record (after Benny's death), saying that firing Benny was the worst mistake of his life.

  • @MGR1900 - Though he came close to marrying. In the 1950s, he was quite smitten with a beautiful dancer, in a stage show he was in. He proposed, but she turned him down.

    That dancer later married someone else, and had a daughter...who also became a performer. Benny hired that daughter to appear on his TV show, and she became quite famous for it.

    The daughter's name? Louise English!

  • This man left us too soon.

  • @MrThecarebear The bastard known as John Howard Davies died earlier this year, thank god.

    The thing i don't get is, he was happy to cancel benny hill, in which he didn't like, but he was happy to of produced far ruder shows like Monty Python and The Goodies. The Goodies is very much like the benny hill show, and unlike benny hill, the goodies actually has a few scenes of full blown nudity, and these are episodes directed and produced by the same man who axed The Benny Hill Show.

  • interesting seeing this pro in action

  • @ROCKERSONICRETURNS Hey was found dead in his home. The sad part was he had been dead for three days. He never married.

  • @MGR1900 how he died if u dnt mind me asking

  • i love the new station in Houston.. not sure if its everywhere.. Antenna TV shows all benny hills, married with children, Monkees, Archie Bunker.. all the best tv ever made.. channel 39.2 AWWW YEAH

  • they axed his show which caused benny to die of a broken heart

  • John Howard Davies? In 1989, you made one big mistake. One big STUPID mistake.

    No wonder ITV is in such dire straits these days.
