FTA-TV Which TV shows are you watching now.

Just bought the entire Benny Hill boxset on DVD. Was visiting my elderly mum last night and she really enjoyed a couple of episodes.

Boy oh Boy the shenanigans on that show definitely wouldn't fly today but tell you what, it's definitely more hilarious and entertaining than most of the post Woke/Cancel Culture produced tV comedies (say post 2020 and beyond) made today.

The skit where Benny Hill was painted up as yellow face portraying Chairman Mao is no doubt racist and definitely offensive by modern standards, yet it had me literally crying tears with laughter.

I am sorry but I really love distasteful/politically incorrect comedies, especially those from a vintage/bygone era.

I saw him probably 5 or so years ago and he was brilliant.

Find him pompous and extremely unfunny.

The show I would love to see now is Till Death Us Do Part.

Arguably the most offensive program ever made...but funny as hell.

The pompous bit doesn't worry me, just so long as he's funny. He isn't.

Not to me anyway.
