God bless you for this sir, God bless you. |
Dear me they'll put up a plaque for anything these days! |
Wonderful! I loved Mr Ben. Must go and buy him for my grandson! |
Thanks for writing this - love it, and I so enjoyed Mr Benn and his magical shopkeeper. There was a lovely innocence to children's telly in the Seventies. |
Mr Benn rules! Even when I was very young, I thought that there was something unusual about Mr Benn spacing out in a changing room though. |
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I totally agree with Josie. Today's children's TV is just too 'in your face'. I was reading your post out to my hubby who is 2 years older than me, and he'd never heard of Mr Benn. I feel sorry for him. |
Fantastic. Loved Mr Benn, can't believe there were only 13 episodes. Just show how kids can sit and watch the same thing over and over again. |
Thoroughly enjoyable post DG, thank you. |
Oh yes, I loved to watch children's TV in those days with my little ones. Not now though, one minute of the shouty modern stuff is too much. |
Nice post. In PlummyMummy household we have recently been down memory (old codgers) lane remember Penelope Pitstop and Wacky Races. There is a modern tv show called Franny's Feet which I am sure has some of the Benn about it...in each episode she tries on a pair of shoes left in her grand-dad's repair shop and goes off to have an adventure. It's more imaginative then many shows on now but not as trippy as Mr Benn. |
I've just noticed my utterly awful grammar above. Apologies. Spent far too much time watching tv as a kid I did. |
The year 2012 will not bring the end of the world.
It will bring a transformation towards a global sustainable consciousness and that is already taking place now. All the so-called crises are just the toppling of the old world systems like finance, oil based economy, politics, etc. etc. |
It sounds like an outrages show and would be fun to watch will look for it online and see if there is a storage of the episodes. |
