Mr Benn - The Complete Series Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

superb..................

this dvd is superb. It brought back memories of when I was a little girl, that I was able to share with my children.

Mr. Benn is made up of fourteen episodes, each narrated by Ray Brooks. Each episode lasts for around fifteen minutes, and every single one involves the character venturing into his local costume shop at the start. From there, he is magically transported to a different era or setting for a brand new adventure.

The first episode, entitled ‘The Red Knight’, sees Mr. Benn donning a suit of red armour. When he enters this land of magic and sorcery, he stumbles into a depressed green dragon he feels committed to help. Another episode sees Mr. Benn travelling to the time of the cavemen, another to the far reaches of outer space.

this cartoon has a rare and unique gift ,to be able to please just about anyone, regardless of age.

On the disc is a special feature, entitled’ The Gladiator’, which was a new episode filmed last year.

Mr Benn, is very nostalgic, for children who grew up in the 70's and 80's, with a wonderful trip down memory lane.

well worth renting out.

As if by magic...........

Long overdue. This excellent childrens programme from my youth has finally made its transition to DVD. I have been watching the episodes on Noggin TV. Its appeal to me is the innocence of the show. It takes me back to a time when you could leave your back door open all day. All your stuff would be nicked but you could leave your back door open all day. I have heard that he is due to make some more trips to the costume store in the near future after the success of the Gladiator one off.
