Kenneth Moore version of the 39 steps a very good film as Elisjohn mentions, great to see Britain as it was with stunning scenery and i think Sir Nigel Gresley pulling the train.

its been mentioned on here few times im sure, but if you havent seen it Grand National night on today at 2.00 pm ,  Damn good film

Horse trainer Gerald Coates believes he has accidentally killed his spiteful and philandering socialite wife Babs on Grand National night following a heated marital row. He panics and foolishly disposes of his drunken wife’s body in her lover’s car before catching a late train home. Scotland Yard’s resolute Inspector Ayling leads the police enquiry and pursues a game of cat-and-mouse in trying to convict Coates on a charge of murder. Friends and his Butler attempt to help cover up the crime but the wily detective teases out Coates with mischievous ingenuity. About to be arrested, Coates receives help from an unexpected source…..

AND at 10.05 pm  a fav of mine, Halfway House

A group of travellers, each with a personal problem that they want to hide, arrives at a mysterious Welsh country inn. There is a certain strangeness in the air as they are greeted by the innkeeper and his daughter (Mervyn Johns and his real life daughter Glynis Johns). Why are all the newspapers a year old ? And why doesn't Gwyneth seem to cast a shadow ?—Steve Crook

Clue, he liked fat ladies in The Italian Job

Crikey Deptford never knew that and turned down a marriage proposal as well , won't post name as i cheated asking copilot   

yes Benny hill, she also dated George Best.    just read this on wiki on  Benny Hill. 

Hill was noted for his frugality. He never owned his own home in London and preferred to rent a flat rather than buy one.[29][better source needed] He rented a double-room apartment on London's Queen's Gate for 26 years until around 1986, when he moved to Fairwater House in Teddington. While looking for somewhere to live, he briefly stayed at 22 Westrow Gardens in Southampton.[30]

Despite being a millionaire, he continued with the frugal habits he picked up from his parents, such as buying cheap food at supermarkets, walking for miles rather than paying for a taxi unless someone picked up the tab for a limousine, and regularly patching and mending the same clothes. He also never owned a car, despite having a valid driving licence.[29][better source needed]

Hill never married and had no children. He had proposed to two women, but neither accepted. Shortly after his death in 1992, actress Annette Andre said that she turned down his proposal of marriage in the early 1960s.[31] Rumours circulated that he was gay, but he always denied them.[32]

Hill was a Francophile and enjoyed visits to France, including to Marseille, where, until the 1980s, he could go to outdoor cafes anonymously, travelling on public transport and socialising with local women.[32] He spoke French fluently, and also knew basic German, Spanish, Dutch and Italian.[32] Travel was the only luxury he permitted himself; even then, he would stay in modest accommodation.   

Hill's health declined in the mid-to-late 1980s. After Hill had a mild heart attack 24 February 1992, doctors recommended a heart bypass; he refused. A week later, he was found to have kidney failure, but he refused to undergo kidney dialysis. Hill died at his flat in Teddington on the morning of 20 April 1992 at age 68,[4] but his body was not found until two days later, following several days of unanswered telephone calls.[33] He died while watching television in his armchair. The cause of death was recorded as coronary thrombosis.[34] Hill was buried at Hollybrook Cemetery, near his birthplace in Southampton, 28 April 1992.[35]

Hill's estate was probated at £7,548,192, equivalent to £19,700,000 in 2023.[36] His will, written thirty years earlier, left most of his estate to his parents, who had predeceased him; ultimately, Hill's estate was divided among his seven nieces and nephews.[37]

During the night of 4 October 1992, following speculation that Hill had been buried with a large amount of gold and jewellery, grave robbers excavated and broke open Hill's coffin. The coffin was reburied with a thick concrete slab over it.[38]

Benny Hill was buried 3 times then. You mentioned the last 2 times. The first time was by ITV!!!!!
