Did Benny Hill deserve to be cancelled?

The week's best comedy on TV and radio

Our pick of the comedy on TV, radio and streaming this week…:

Sunday April 13

THE CANCELLATION OF Benny Hill: Benny Hill was one of the UK's most prolific comedians of the 1970s and 1980s, but his Thames Television contact was not renewed at the ended of the latter decade, despite still being popular in America, Executive John Howard Davies said at the time: 'The show was past its sell-by date. The audiences were going down, the programme was costing a vast amount of money, and he [Hill] was looking a little tired.' Nowadays his humour is largely seen as sexist and unacceptable, and his show has not been aired on British TV since his death in 1992. This documentary looks at his career and shows his material to a younger generation to ask if they find the sketches funny or offensive? In the next two weeks, similar documentaries will look at the 'cancellation' of Kenny Everett and Fawlty Towers, despite the latter barely being off screens. 5, 9pm
