The Cancellation Of Benny Hill review
What distinguished this from the usual talking-head/clip format was the clever idea of showing Benny Hill sketches to three Gen Z people. They were shocked by the racism and the fact that a woman bending down in suspenders while he leered was considered normal, which is perfectly fair. But, interestingly, they did still find that some of it funny, such as when Hill's character was interviewing a vicar who had his flies undone and Hill kept trying to cover it with a plant pot.
