Another programme born in the Watch With Mother era, Bill and Ben were identical, with bodies and legs made out of flowerpots, hobnailed boots and gardening-gloved hands. It was possible to tell them apart by their names written across their backs and by their voices, Bill's high-pitched squeak, and Ben’s lower tones.
They lived in a pair of flowerpots at the bottom of the garden, unknown to the gardener. When he approached, a little Weed that grew in between the pots would warn Bill and Ben when the gardener was coming, upon which they would quickly disappear back into their pots.
Each programme featured reassuring rituals, from the appearance of Bill and Ben from their pots to the closing caption of 'Goodbye'. In between were various capers involving slapstick antics with mud pies, paint pots and even ice-skating.
The cache was placed here with the kind permission of the forestry commission.
