Is this Bill? or is this Ben? Which one of the Flowerpot Men? Remember them? And Little Weed!
The Flower Pot Men is a British children's programme, produced by BBC television, first transmitted in 1952, and repeated regularly for more than twenty years.
Originally, the programme was part of a BBC children's television series titled Watch with Mother, with a different programme each weekday, most of them involving string puppets.
The Flower Pot Men was the story of Bill and Ben, two little men made of flower pots who lived at the bottom of an English suburban garden.
The characters were devised by Hilda Brabban.
She wrote the original stories of the three characters (Bill, Ben and Little Weed) and sold them to the BBC for one guinea each.
