It's difficult to imagine such a simple animation being commissioned now, but most kids growing up in the 70s and 80s will remember this one with fondness! : )
Great, glad you liked it and you know a little more about British animation. There are few US cartoons on my Substack that I have written too. It’s leats good to widen our horizons.
Thank you, this was a wonderful nostalgia trip. I am stunned to learn that the Shopkeeper had a name we never knew! So sad and strange that the originals weren't valued enough to be kept when it was such a popular programme
I know. So sad that this happened, what a waste. An absolute favourite here too.

For sure. Think that the pirate was my favourite
I didn’t watch Mr Benn, but I used to love David McKee’s books when I was younger :) great post!
As an American, it's cool to learn about animation from the UK and elsewhere that I would have otherwise never heard of.

Glad you liked it. It’s always good to find something new out, and what a cool name 😁
How sad that they were thrown away. An absolute childhood favourite.
Thank you Jon! Another wonderfully nostalgic post.
Thanks Victoria. It was such a simple concept
Loved this series! This was a great read. 😊
