* HarsherInHindsight: In the "Opportunity's Knocking" sketch (where "Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West)" was sung for the first time), the titular Ernie was "only 68" when he died. In a sad coincidence, this was the same age Benny Hill was when he died 22 years after the original sketch aired.


Added DiffLines:

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The show was almost UnCancelled, but Hill died [[{{Irony}} on the day the letter was successfully delivered]].

** In the 1980s, as public opinion in Britain was systematically being turned against Hill and his show, two former guest stars, Paula Wilcox and Paul Eddington, successfully lobbied to have the respective programs on which they appeared (23 February 1972 and 21 April 1976) pulled from repeat airings in England.
