Benny Hill appeared in many adverts over the years, here are just a few of them.
The first is Benny Hill in a Schweppes Bitter Lemon Advert (1960), it also stars British Comedy superstar Patricia Hayes. Perhaps the greatest compliment that can be paid to the diminutuve, warm-natured character actress Patricia Hayes
is that so many top comedians such as Arthur Askey , Tony Hancock ,
Arthur Haynes , Benny Hill and Frankie Howerd chose to work with her. Next is Benny Hill in a Kaiser Beer advert from the early 80s. It's a Foreign Commercial for Beer. The Kaiser Bräu in Neuhaus an der Pegnitz is the largest brewery in the district of Nürnberger Land, Bavaria, Germany.
Benny Hill in Unigate Milkman Advert (1978) 'Ere, I've just been Humphrey'd! Benny appears as 'Ernie' in a Commercial advertising

The Krankies
The Krankies are a Scottish comedy duo who enjoyed success as a cabaret
act in the 1970s and on television in the 1980s.
Blonde, beautiful and extremely likable are some of the many ways to describe Carol Hawkins.
She first appeared on the screen in The Body Stealers (1969) and in a few other films following her debut. However, it is for her 'Carry On...' film work which she is best remembered throughout the 1970s, together with her role as sexy Sharon Eversleigh in the TV series, Please Sir! (1968).
Appearing in the very successful Carry on Abroad (1972) as Marge, her character was paired with 'Lily' played by Sally Geeson, both of whom go off to the Spanish Island, with the rest of the 'Carry On...' gang, looking for love. Her contribution to the film was an important one and her character is enjoyable to watch on-screen.
Her performance was so successful that she was asked back to be Sandra in Carry on Behind (1975). Although, not the best of the Carry On films she was certainly memorable.
In addition to appearing in two Carry On films, she had also appeared in Carry on Again Christmas (1970).
Carol also appeared as a supporting player in the Carry on Laughing! (1975) television series. Her place in 'Carry On...' history as a supporting 'Carry Oner' is certainly sealed.
In recent years, and with the decline of the British film industry, Carol found work in television in comedy series like My Husband and I (1987). It is a shame that she has not done more work on television, however she did appear in Doctors (2000) in 2004 playing "Pam Jordan" in an episode called "Getting On".
In recent times, Carol has appeared at some of the memorabilia events at the NEC in Birmingham.
Hawkins trained early on as a shorthand typist at Pitman´s College, London, but following some modelling and promotion work attended the Corona Stage Academy in Hammersmith, London. While still training as an actress, she won the part of Sharon Eversleigh in the film of the popular television series Please Sir!, replacing the departed Penny Spencer. Hawkins went on to play the part of Sharon in The Fenn Street Gang.
Hawkins is perhaps best known for her sexy "crumpet" roles in Please Sir! and in two Carry On films: Carry On Abroad (1972), alongside Sally Geeson, and Carry On Behind (1975), alongside Sherrie Hewson. She appeared in the television series, but she declined to appear in the 1976 Carry On England, finding the proposed nudity excessive (the part written for Hawkins was played instead by Tricia Newby). Other film appearances at this time include principal roles in British comedy films Not Now, Comrade, and the sex comedy Confessions of a Pop Performer. At the end of 1976, she appeared in the Porridge episode The Desperate Hours as a fake doctor assigned to secretly give Fletcher a false passport.
Hawkins "more or less retired" in 2005, with the aim of devoting more time to spiritual matters and animal care.
