    Some recent events have brought this series to mind, so it weird to see it here.

    If I remember correctly he didnt have a job, wore a suit and bowler hat, tried on costumes he never purchased or hired and often ‘found’ items when he got home that he should have returned. I loved it.

    They were based on children's books. One of them he dressed as a prisoner with the outfit with arrows on it but that never made it into the cartoon.

    Heat from me. I love Ray Brooks' voice.
    BTW: Festing Road in Putney (former home of the illustrator) is the basis for Festive Road in Mr Benn

    Heat added.

    One of my favourite cartoons from early 70s. It was surreal, along with Bagpuss (both original series of Mr Benn and Bagpuss were thirteen episodes in length as well).

    Completely agree, both classics. I loved them both when i was kid. Bagpuss especially was like some other-worldly experience - I used to sit there transfixed by it. (edited)

    I watched it for the first time since the 70's a few years ago with my young grandson. He liked it a lot and found it funny, and great nostalgia for me.

    Excellent series, along with the visually jazzy Crystal Tipps and Alistair

    My 18 month laugh dances and singing to the music as did I, everything speak nostalgia in this program.

    They didn't have much to work on visually for these times but the narrator and music is incredible 🙌 however fast forward to 2022 and we have everything visually but no ear candy Really. (edited)

    Yep, only 13. Episode 14 here is an extra one that was made in 2005.

    This along with Chigley, Camberwick Green, Trumpton, Bagpus and of course The Clangers were so classic. Teaching kids the right way to behave while entertaining them too... I remember them all first time round!

    Yes the imaging may not be up to todays standards, but they were so mucb better than the inane drivel our kids have to watch now!

    I never recalled Mr Benn ever purchasing one solitary item in that costume shop, I can only assume he was selling him under the counter many types of hallucinogenics for his adventures to be happy to keep on seeing him in the shop.

    "Then zip by magic, the shopkeeper appeared."

    At least that's what I thought they said. To this day it's a phrase I use, knowing it's incorrect, but unable to move on from a magical period of my life when nothing mattered too much, least of all a misheard catchphrase.
