Pretty much every legend of British comedy have appeared on ITV, whether it be in self-titled shows or variety performances.

Comedy geniuses ranging from Spike Milligan, Tommy Cooper and Bob Monkhouse to Ben Elton, Harry Enfield and Harry Hill have all added chuckles to the television schedules over the years.

And who could forget Benny Hill, whose brand of slapstick humour made him a massive hit around the world.
