Last night I hosted a live music night. Great to hear lots of musicians playing great music. If there is a music night near you, go and have a look. Musicians love a crowd!!

Esther Rantzen was a legend. Proper family entertainment for decades! She also did so many good things to benefit others. Child Line & Silver Line to name just two. There were lots. She will be missed by millions of us. RIP Madam. Thanks for the magic.

David McKee was such a gentle man. I always feel lucky that I knew him. Through Mr Benn he showed us how to live our lives. There is a moral to every adventure that are even more important in today's world. Be more Benn!!

I love playing cricket, but if I was given out by this cross eyed frog, I'd be livid! You can see how much pleasure he takes when he puts his finger up!!

Pakistan won the game today. Jahangir Bilal (on the right) was Man Of The Match. I congratulated him & wished him all the best for the future, and he took his hat off and gave it to me. What a Fabulous souvenir. I am very lucky.

A picture from last nights adventure lighting the Thame Concert Band. It was Fabulous!! If you have a concert band near you, go and see them...

Mr Benn @thebowlerhatman.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

This evenings adventure is doing the lighting for the Thame Concert Band. The theme is Highlands, so I'm using a lot of blue & white light to create a Fabulous atmosphere. It's at St Mary's Church & starts at 7.

Barry Sheene would have been 76 today. Another hero of mine. Great racer & very brave man. Yes, this is another of my treasured souvenirs!!

I quite like the clothes with the crocodile emblem, but it's just La Coste of it all...

When I was 12, I bought Master Blaster. I loved the song, and still do. Later, I researched Stevie Wonder's music & bought loads of it. I have just got a ticket to see him! It will be a Fabulous adventure!!

Mr Benn @thebowlerhatman.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Listening to Keith Moon play drums played a huge part in me wanting to become a drummer. No one else played like him. A total one off genius. Missed as much today as the day he died. I'm not sure he'd like to rest in peace!! I hope wherever he is he's having fun & causing chaos!

Mr Benn @thebowlerhatman.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

The souvenir in Mr Benn is really important. It shows the adventure wasn't a dream... With that in mind, I have been helping with the restoration & release of the cartoons so it will be a proper souvenir!!

Mr Benn @thebowlerhatman.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Today would have been Freddie Mercury's 80th Birthday. I have always loved Queen & his singwriting in particular. I knew Pete Brown, and he gave me this. It is my most treasured souvenir.

Here is the famous banking racetrack at Brooklands. You can imagine Tarquin St John Fortescue-Brown, Bunty Smithington-Smith-Smith-Smith & Sir Benjamin Smith-Kline-Beacham roaring round in their Bentleys in the 1920's!!

I missed Keith Moon's 80th. The man was a human octopus. I listen to his drumming, and it's impossible to replicate. He truly was a one-off genius. Premier had this kit at The London Drum Show a few years ago, and they let me play it!!

Mr Benn @thebowlerhatman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Yesterday I went to The St Barbe Museum & Art Gallery in Lymington with David's son Brett & Mr Benn editor Clive Juster to see this Fabulous exhibition. Please go if you can...
