The good think about being a wizard is using the king as a chess piece!
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
Next up in honour of the late great Ray Brooks... Mr Benn - Wizard. Enjoy... youtu.be/Q36zuHW8tjM?...

It's been on there for years. There are so many people & companies showing it. The only ones we should watch are on Duncan Lamont's youtube channel. He has rights over it as he composed the music! I have mentioned this to the family & we will do something about it soon.
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social) reply parent
If you like that, you should like Baby June. I was the drummer. Lots of remixes on youtube, very little of the 7" mixes. Enjoy... youtu.be/K_vqozwZ4Q4?...

A Pinch & A Punch for the first day of the month... Rabbits & Hares... White Rabbits... Whatever you say, have a Fabulous day!! Welcome to September...
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
We've just had a thunder storm over Festive Road. I went outside, and a young man was walking down the street soaking wet with a Superdry t-shirt on. How ironic...
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
David liked to put his friends & people he admired in his cartoons. Here we have Willie Rushton & David Hockney in a balloon.
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
Baron Bartram tied Mr Benn's balloon to a drain pipe, but his plan backfired as the pipe helped drive the balloon forward to win the race.
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
The next televised Mr Benn was Balloonist. Here is the Fabulous Ray Brooks narrating: youtu.be/oiXSZTdRDAo?...
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
There was a broken bridge that stopped the circus coming to town, but Mr Benn helped by getting everyone to work together to build a bridge. The moral: By working together, we can get more done.
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
The 3rd Mr Benn adventure to be televised is Clown. More great narration by the late great Ray Brooks... youtu.be/rvN3nekxY7g?...
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
The second televised Mr Benn adventure was Hunter. Take 15 minutes out of your day... youtu.be/3r5enjsMcSY?...

We are hoping to make some more...
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
The King loves cricket. He loves being an umpire. He loves giving people out!! Oh... Do you like my new wicketkeeping outfit?
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
The King was very grateful to learn the truth about the match seller. He asked the dragon to be his own personal fire lighter.
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
The lovely dragon telling his story of how the dodgy match seller got him banished from the kingdom.
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
The moral of Mr Benn Red Knight: The match seller got the dragon expelled from the kingdom then put the price of his matches up as there was no competition. When the king found out, he put the match seller in jail. Monopolies are bad, competition is good.
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
I honour of Ray Brooks, I will post the Mr Benn adventures in the same order they were first shown. Here is Mr Benn - Red Knight: youtu.be/vuqcUJHxDKI?...

Hello Duglas, this is great. I forgot to thank you for sending me the link a couple of years ago. Hope you're well...
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
Very sad news... Ray has gone to the fancy dress shop in the sky... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
Always nice to beat Baron Bartram. The moral of the story is... Cheats never prosper.
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)

The china collectiom at Inveraray Castle...
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social) reply parent
Driving alone to a movie show So I turn to the sounds in my car. There’s a band playing on the radio with a rhythm of rhyming guitars... Always loved this... Life is good when you're ok on your own.
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
If you've not been to Inveraray Castle, you should go. It's a Fabulous place for an adventure.
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
The view from McCaigs Tower, Oban:
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
Today's adventure comes from Oban... 'The Gateway to the Isles'.

A busy day so far, so 5 minutes in my favourite park, sitting on my favourite bench watching the world go by is lovely...

What a conversation! Ahem... Here is the news: A bowler hatted man in a suit was spotted getting on a train to Birmingham earlier...
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)

I'm sure you know that Martha of The Muffins fame sang backing on this...
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
Tickling to win the hide-&-seek. Mr Benn -Cowboy is such a good adventure. The moral is all about thinking outside the box.
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
It's a Mr Benn Cowboy kinda day... youtube.com/watch?v=XamV...
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
Mr Benn is all about encouraging people to have adventures. Felix Baumgartner took this to extremes to show what was possible. I have a huge amount of respect for him, and I am deeply saddened by his death.
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
Hello Masterchef! I am available, and I can bring a booze expert too!
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
This binman was banned from wearing shorts, so he's wearing a hi-viz kilt. I definitely need one! Better ask Mr The Shopkeeper!
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
How has your day been? I went to Peterborough. Nice place! Haven't been there for many years.
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
Born on this day in 1933... Brian Cant. One of my heroes. He did so much for young people on the television for many years. He is still much missed.
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social) reply parent
All of them!!
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
If you're looking for an adventure this weekend... I'll be there, on the mic, so come and say hello...

As it's Ringo's Birthday, here are The Beatles doing their best Mr Benn impression...
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
ELO are having their final gigs. What a Fabulous band. I have many of their 'souvenirs'. This is my favourite.
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
Today I went to a school fete. Lots of Fabulous fancy dress so the children could have adventures...
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
My best friend died in 2006. Today is his birthday. I always call his mum & brother for a chat on his birthday. He is always in my thoughts, especially today.

Nick Nack umpired our Festive Road Casuals cricket match today. Not only did he nick by boowler hat, he gave me out LBW!
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
On today's adventure I was given some magic beans. I'm going to plant them in the garden & see what happens...

I made a good living as a DJ/musician. The 90's was Fabulous. Touring/DJ'ing - great fun. The internet has ruined a lot of it as people steal music & there are loads of amateur dj's. People are focussed on price. I haven't had a pay rise this century & every gig takes up much more time.

Try the events industry. We haven't been paid our worth for many years.
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
Did I tell you I met motor racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart? What a lovely man he is.

With the world in such a mess, maybe I should see what other planets are out there...

Today I hosted the T20 Disability international between England & India at Wormsley. I had a Fabulous adventure!!

Today's adventure was hitting a small white ball... It was fun!
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
My heart goes out to everyone involved in the horrific air crash in India. It's heartbreaking to see the suitcases being taken away.
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
Did I tell you I met Dan Aykroyd? He is a Fabulous man. He's been in so many great films. What's your favourite?
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
Brian Wilson was a musical genius. RIP Sir. Thank you for the music. youtube.com/watch?v=OZ2R...

This is what Rik Mayall wrote in my book. He was a proper comedy genius. Gone but never forgotten.

Maybe he means the A1. 'When you've overtaken another vehicle, move back to the left'.

This is currently parked in Festive Road. I would have this in my dream garage...
Mr Benn (@thebowlerhatman.bsky.social)
This Optikinetics wheel is called Balloons. It makes me smile. I hope it makes you smile too.

I know those Garrard decks. I started off with a pair of BSR's, then Technics 1200's then Denon tray cd's, then Pioneer CDJ's, then laptop. Now a mix of vinyl & controllers etc.
