Brand Background

Based on stories by Hilda Brabban Brabban, The Flowerpot Men ran in the 1950s & 1960s on BBC Television. The show took place in a garden behind a potting shed, where there was a little Weed (resembling a sunflower) with a smiling face between two large flowerpots. White the Gardener was away having his dinner, the two flowerpot men, Bill & Ben, emerged from the two flowerpots for an adventure or minor mishap.
In 2001 a second series names Bill & Ben was produced for the BBC, this time involving stop-motion animation and full colour. Many additions were implemented including a mean rosebush in the neighbours garden, a magpie obsessed by shiny treasures (usually bottle tops), a hedgehog and a worm. Weed is no longer a weed, but an enormous sunflower. She appears to play an "earth mother" role to Bill and Ben.

Storytelling

The Gardener is all ready to tell some stories about Bill and Ben and their friends who live with them in the garden but as usual Bill and Ben are being very silly and playing tricks on the poor gardener…..  they can’t be serious for one minute and just want to sing and dance. Will the gardener be able to “trick” them into staying still long enough to help with the story telling…

Activity Workshop

Bill & Ben are so excited to have their very own Activity Centre. Bill & Ben will be around during the activity to meet and greet with the girls and boys. They love to give cuddles, handshakes and have lots of fun with boys and girls. The children can show them their finished masterpiece before they take it home. All equipment will be supplied with junior size tables and chairs. There will be friendly uniformed staff to help and assist. All this will be in an attractive fenced area with backdrop and of course Bill & Ben will be there to visit the children and have lots of cuddles and fun…
