| Mr. Medd meets Mr. Benn |
Created by David McKee and voiced by Ray Brooks, Mr. Benn became one of the most loveable - and iconic - characters on British telly. It was appointment TV in the 70s. In the same way that Morecambe & Wise, Top of the Pops and The Generation Game got under the nation's skin, so the adventures (and they really were adventures) of our beloved bowler hatted resident of 52 Festive Road became legendary. We may have lost McKee and Brooks but Mr. Benn will live forever in the hearts and minds of anyone whoever picked up one of his books or dropped in on any of his magical television appearances.
