The Benny Hill Show

In 1955, his big breakthrough came with The Benny Hill Show, a series of short sketches and jokes. In these sketches, the subject is usually the conquest of a woman, performed in a slapstick-like manner (often by using the fast forward of the film). Some critics found the program women-friendly, but he responded to this by saying that the women in his sketches were mostly intelligent, while the men were portrayed as stupid.

Because of excess weight, he had health problems. Despite the advice of doctors, he refused to lose weight. He died around 18 April 1992 while watching television in his flat in Teddington, London, where his body was found on the night of 20 April. Hill's wealth was estimated at ten million pounds after his death and was distributed among relatives and friends. He was buried in his hometown of Southampton. In 1992, thieves tried to dig up his body, because there were rumors that he was buried with gold jewelry
