Arguably the most versatile and talented comedian ever, Benny is mainly (And unfairly) remembered for his manic slapstick chase scenes and the semi-clad young ladies who appeared in many of his sketches.
But there was a lot more to Benny as this post will hopefully demonstrate. He was a master of every area of comedy, from mime to wordplay to songs to slapstick. Truly, no-one else has ever been in his league as an all-round comic talent.
Ernie the fastest milkman in the west - Benny actually released this as a single and it did quite well, believe it or not. Hence the video appearing on Top Of The Pops, as here.
Playing with words in poetry
More singing. Though with a very funny sketch at the start

Sadly, I can't find any of his miming sketches, but you can likely get the idea from this. A lot of Benny's humour is definitely risque, but he's hilarious, nonetheless.
