Comedy Icons | Benny Hill on his Comedy Success (1991)

Benny Hill, a British comedy superstar for over four decades with shows on both the BBC (1955-1968) and ITV (1969-1989), takes us through his life and art in an Omnibus special from 1991.

He recalls his relationship with his parents, his writing process, how he got started in television, his approach to impersonations and his delight at stateside success.


Clip taken from Omnibus - Benny Hill: Clown Imperial, originally broadcast on BBC One, Friday 20 December 1991.
