As much as I am a big fan of Babs, I could never quite find it in me to enjoy Benny Hill.
I've always been more of a 'footlights' fan.

It just took me a few months before I understood why certain things in American films were funny.
Diane still hates watching America's funniest home videos with me because the most I will do is smirk, but Family Guy will have me roaring with laughter.
I have to say, once Diane took a minute to explain things to me like 'American college in the 60's went like this...' I really, really enjoyed the film.
I guess humour really is such a social thing.
