Please remember to bring something to write with. Thanks


BILL & BEN THE FLOWER POT MEN

BILL & BEN, the Flower Pot Men was a British programme for young children produced by BBC Television. It was first transmitted in 1952, and repeated regularly for more than twenty years. The original programme was part of a BBC children's television series called WATCH WITH MOTHER, featuring a different programme each weekday, most of them involving string puppets. Bill & Ben were two little men made of flower pots who lived at the bottom of a garden and spoke a gibberish language, named Oddle-Poodle "flobabdob". A third character, LITTLE WEED, a sunflower with a smiling face, was shown growing between two large flowerpots. The three were also sometimes visited by a tortoise called SLOWCOACH. When the gardener was away having his dinner, Bill and Ben, would emerge from their pots. They would have a small adventure, in which a mishap would occur, for which someone would then take the blame: "Which of these two flowerpot men, was it Bill or was it Ben?" a narrator would ask and then the culprit would confess, before the gardener's footsteps would be heard coming up the garden path. The Flower Pot Men then would vanish into their pots and the "Goodbye" screen would appear. The final comment was, "..and I think the little house knew something about it; don't you?".
