I loved the way the shopkeeper always used to appear at the right moment, that's what I call my little girl now because she appears like magic whenever I'm making some food. 😊

Easily in the the top five of the best kids shows of my childhood.

Highly repetative yet always different, the Mr Benn formula is pure genius.

David McKee.

One of my favourite writers/illustrators.

A real loss.

I loved Mr Benn.
Just magical.
Even as a young child I did wonder why this seemingly normal man liked to dress up and go on adventures.

I didn’t know he also did Elmer. My kids liked Elmer.
