The Prisoner. Well, 123456789 Benn to give it its proper title. The Mr Benn book kids didn't get to see transferred to television. Our hero steps through the 'trying room' and...into jail. The BBC decided that the subject matter was too 'mature' for its lunchtime viewers.
@RodneyMarshall1 This is real, right? Not just made up by some AI?
@RodneyMarshall1 "What do you want?" "A costume, please. One that will lead me to adventure" "You won't get it" "Where's the shopkeeper?" "I'm his new Number Two. You are Number 123456789" "No, I'm not. I'm Number 52 - Festive Road. Benn's the name, Mister Benn. - What's that big bubble?..."
@RodneyMarshall1 The question is; what did he bring back as a memento?
@RodneyMarshall1 Gosh, you kept that quiet @thebowlerhatman
@RodneyMarshall1 Did Paddington 2 borrow from this Mr Benn book, I wonder.
@RodneyMarshall1 What a shame I would have liked to see this.
@RodneyMarshall1 Doesn't look like Portmeirion! No wonder they were all crying. Come to think of it, the enigmatic shopkeeper could be Number One... [Cue thunderclap]
@RodneyMarshall1 The bit where he’s in the greenhouse with Smasher is truly harrowing.
