If you are correct, doesn't your point merely illustrate that people hold differing tastes when it comes to TV comedy?

In my view, the UK viewing audience simply lost the taste for Benny Hill - presumably because there are only so many times that you can watch a man chasing lingerie clad women round a park at double speed with a saxophone soundtrack and find it amusing.
Well the tv programme is about the cancellation of Benny Hill but I haven't seen one called the "Cancellation of Micky Flanagan" for example.
I only use that example because there's a 28 year old bloke in my local who thinks Benny Hill was s e x ist but finds Micky Flanagan hilarious.
I can give you his phone number if you want to cross examine him.
