Mr Benn
@thebowlerhatman
I am a man with many hats and outfits, having adventures everywhere... I admire the bowler hatted man from 52 Festive Road.
It's time for me to change costumes, so I have changed my twitter handle. I really appreciate all my friends here, and hope you will continue following my adventures. I am also very pleased to announce the release of all the Mr Benn music. Enjoy!! recordstoreday.co.uk/rsd-list/mr-be…
This is what I wrote last year about Mr Benn - Zookeeper. David McKee was 100% correct all those years ago We must listen to other points of view. I learn by listening.
Mr Benn Zookeeper has one of the most important morals. He let the animals out of the cages, and the animals rounded up the people & put them in the cages so they could see what it was like. We seem to have lost the ability to see things from another point of view. We must try.
Hulk Hogan brought fabulous fancy dress to wrestling & was always entertaining. Very sad to hear he's passed away.
Lots of people go to zoo's in the holidays. It's important to remember animals need plenty of space. Here is Mr Benn Zookeeper: youtu.be/NN-xmyjbMSU?si…
This will be Fabulous!! I wrote the bit about Mr Benn which I hope you like...
Many thanks to the writers who contributed essays to our new book celebrating Children's TV in the 60s to 80s. We have only touched the surface of what was a deep treasure chest of kids and family shows during an era of 'shared TV': stop-motion, Supermarionation, live-action 1/2
Gosh... Ozzy Osbourne. Larger than life King Of Fancy Dress. RIP Sir. Thank you for the magic!
This is nice... It's made of buttons... I'm always losing buttons... Maybe this would be handy to have so when I lose a button I can just pluck one off.... How Much?!?
I'm sure if I had someone to carry my golf clubs, I'd be a world class golfer!!

I am extremely upset by the death of Felix Baumgartner. There are daredevils, then there was Felix. Always pushing the boundaries on his adventures. So sad he's gone. RIP Sir. Thank you for the magic.
Whenever I see a penalty shoot out, I am reminded of this:

Today has been spent at @wormsleycricket doing sound, music & commentary for the @ECB_cricket County 2nd X1 T20 Finals Day. What an honour! Lots of Fabulous cricket & great that @WarwickshireCCC won.
Well done this binman. The council banned him from wearing shorts, so he put a hi-viz kilt on. I want one!! Better ask Mr The Shopkeeper!!
If you're in Leicester, please have a look at this. It will be Fabulous!!
