Since its debut in 1969 his television show has been sold to over 140 countries worldwide, with viewership in the millions.
The song "Ernie (The Fastest Milkman In the West)" is a bit autobiographical. Benny Hill had been a milkman in Eastleigh, Hampshire, working for Hanns Dairy whose premises was yards way from Market Street. There was a bakery near the dairy that did indeed have a delivery van. Having been born and raised (and eventually buried) in Southampton, Benny Hill did live in Teddington.

So good to hear this song again. Damn he was talented!
@raymondgill9796
Overdue for re evaluation. Benny knew human nature and when tastes turned against him people forgot that he was commenting on it not advocating the seedy side of life.
@elbestione7010
Definitely worth more than a spin. And Benny as an excellent singer and musical talent.
Swiss people like it!

Always good to hear something from benny Hill - I think this came too late in 72 to be a big success for him - it seems a strange mix of Where Do You Go To My Lovely / Gently On my Mind / Windmills Of Your Mind - - lol !
@vicgallimore6756
A great talent, sadly missed.
