Benny Hill denied Royal Mail seal of approval

It seems that the TV comic Benny Hill, once a national treasure, is just too saucy to be celebrated in the more politically correct times we live in. The Benny Hill Show was one of several suggestions for a set of stamps commemorating the 50th anniversary of ITV, reports the Daily Telegraph. However, Royal Mail got cold feet over Hill, who used to chase scantily clad women in the closing credits, arguing that he was "in direct opposition to company policies on harassment in the workplace". There was no explanation given, however, for the rejection of Miss Piggy and Kenny Everett.
