But it wasn't until The Benny Hill Show appeared in 1969 that he became a superstar. The show combined filmed scenes along with live studio sketches, and had a bawdy, irreverent, slapstick appeal that has found a cult following ever since. He rented this home until 1986 when he moved to Teddington.
