Mr Benn for me - a few years ago I was in Belfast and went to the BBC shop there, and decided to buy a Mr Benn toy - dressed as an astronaut lol. I went to the till to pay for it and had to wait for the sales assistant to get to the till and when he got there I said 'And as if by magic - the shopkeeper appeared!'

He didn't actually look too pleased....

Gordon Bennett! That's a great memory you've got Joanne. Now got to go off and try and find this pic of Mike Holoway.

BTW the lead singer was Derek Pascoe.

I used to like the lead singer. The blonde one, but can't remember his name. You can get a bit more info from wikipedia if you search for Mike Holoway. I also googled images yesterday, and got an up to date pic of Mike Holoway. Wish I hadn't though - his face has grown a bit!!
