Kept going in the shop and never bought a f—ing thing. And most of the time nicked stuff under the pretence they were “souvenirs”
Unless the shop was a front for “something” else?
As a lazy kid I really envied that Mr Benn could change his outfit without moving and his clothes would fold themselves. That would have been my boring superpower
Fingerbobs for the win.
Solid wave of nostalgia listening to the tune.
Wasn’t there a piffling amount of episodes made?
I’d go and check but I just couldn’t cope with wallowing in wishing for yesteryear so I shan’t.
I find the theme tune is perfect to be used as the soundtrack to a vigorous session of lovemaking.
Loved this as a kid, but I think there’s only 10 episodes or something mad. I felt like there were a lot more.
Absolutely could not stand this ‘cartoon’ nor similar ilk such as Mary, Mungo & Midge etc. Just thought they were weird & scary for some reason (I was only 7-8 when they first came out).
Oh, and I wiki’d and found only 13 eps were originally made over 71-72 and a final one in 2005.
“Redskins, Redskins, we’ll beat the cowboys today!”
I made my kids watch this too, so not only Gen X
Until recently I had Mr Benn as the lock screen on my phone.

My daughter thought it was hilarious.
