The subject title is just for you Rosanna.
When I arrived home from work at eleven this evening, there was a repeat of a Benny Hill show. I remember him fondly, but not well. I clearly recall him running in the park after a buxom blonde. (Can some ejukated person tell me if there is an e in blond or not? I thought there was, and then I thought there wasn't, but I am sure there is. The bleach in my youth must have soaked into my brain)
I seem to remember that he wrote some of the material he performed, but no doubt there were a team of writers for the show. I also heard that he was a perfectionist so far as his performance went.
It really shows. His timing was masterful, his facial expressions superb, the material almost all good. Perhaps what I saw was a compilation best of, but even so, the man was brilliant.
I don't think his later life was much chop after his show was axed, but it really means he went out while flying high.
Anway, after a pig stressful day at work, it was nice to have a good out loud laugh.
My practically perfect self is very honoured.

ReplyDeleteRE blond/blonde...
ReplyDeleteHistorically, blonde is used to describe females, and blond is for males. These days, blond is often used for both males and females.
When applied to beer - either spellings seems to be acceptable! (Leffe has both on its label)
Thanks for sorting that out for me. R's fave beer is Leffe.
