I’m glad this one came up, I have something in my archive, I wrote for my care home talks.
This is a little story, but hidden in the text are British tv shows, quite a few children’s programs, but some are adult shows.
I course I realise a lot of my readers are from foreign lands, so may not recognise all the tv shows, but I hope you still enjoy it. After all I can’t keep coming up with something new every day!

•     Mr Benn decided he wanted to go on the busses to Paddington tube station. He’d made some mistakes in his time , but the clangers dropped back then didn’t compare to this one, by a chance in a million he’d caught the XL5 by mistake, and he ended up at Camberwick Green. So, he caught a taxi back to London, he told the driver where he wanted to go, and they set off. No sooner had they got back to London when they came to some road works where a company called The Thunderbird’s were delivering a big mole like machine. They waited ages for the lights to change, when they did the driver shouted “Opportunity  knocks, we’re off” They were heading the wrong way through, the driver changed into top gear and they ended up back out of London. “Why have we left London” Mr Benn asked the driver, “London’s burning, didn’t you see that bus” It was a fireball XL5 was”, he answered. Mr Benn ordered him to stop and he got out in the middle of nowhere, a real blot on the landscape. He walked to try and get his bearings, he came across a man, he was crying, Mr Ben asked him “what’s your name, and why are you so sad, he said “I’m  Peter my wife has gone missing, I went to ask the family, but I could not find them  either” Mr Benn comforted him and said don’t be blue Peter, they will all soon be home in your little house on the prairie. 
•     Mr Benn walked along it was getting dark, he came across a B and B, Mays B and B it said on the sign, he knocked on the door. A lady answered, hello I’m  Crystal she said. I’m Mr Benn can I stay the night please? Of course she answered, I’ll show you to your room, the room was cold, it had rising damp, and there was noise from the next room. “What’s that?”Mr Ben asked, Oh it’s only the young ones. He was desperate, so he said it would be Ok, but he was out of Crystal May,s at first light, after he paid her 6 million Dollar, man he was angry. So he walked, there were some workmen breaking stones up at the side of the road, he’d just past the block busters when he spotted the railway station, bullseye he shouted. He got to the platform just in time to hear the announcement “The train now departing for Bykergrove on the Onedin Line. Oh well he thought I may as well make a break of it, my friend Hector lives in Newcastle, I’ll stay at Hectors house. On the train, the only seat he could find was next to a gentleman who introduced himself as Mr Ed. Mr Benn kicked a discarded Doc Martin boot, out of his way under the seat, and sat down. There was a buffet on the train, mr Benn ordered chips and some bread, while Mr Ed had bangers and mash, they both had rhubarb and custard for dessert.
•     In Newcastle, Mr Benn caught the Q8 bus to Sesame Street, where his friends Hector and his new partner Buffy lived. Hector ran a funfair, Buffy, was a nurse at the Newcastle blood clinic, the house was called Buffy the vampires layer.
•     Hector welcomed Mr Ben, they were good friends, where’s Buffy? asked Mr Ben. She’s gone to see Dr Farquaridoodly, Dr who? said Mr Benn. “Yes quite a mouthful isn’t it, she has a problem with her hair, he reckons it’s the roots, come in”said Hector. “My son isn’t home, he’s now a qualified structural engineer, he’s working at Flambards Manor, some faulty towers apparently. Would you like something to eat?”” No thanks I ate on the train” “A glass of wine then, it’s the last of the summer wine “ The two sat and drank wine, with Ludwig van Beethoven playing in the background. It wasn’t long before Buffy got home, what’s that in your hair? said Hector, she pulled out a bundle of twigs from her hair, “my goodness, it’s a robins nest” she said, it must have come out of the trees as I walked back though South Park. They all talked for a while about the good old days, Hector introduced Mr Benn to his new pet a python called Monty, He escaped from the flying circus, Hello Monty Python said Mr Benn.
•       It was late, and Mr Benn was tired, this way then said Hector, it’s not a brilliant room, but it’s not room 101 either. Mr Benn was asleep straight away, and slept until the sound of the dustbin men woke him up.
•       The next morning Buffy had prepared porridge, Hector said to Mr Benn “Banana man?” “Oh thank you “answered my Benn, followed by “You know, I’m not sure how Im going to get home?” “Don’t worry about that, I’ll sort it out after breakfast, After their meal Hector said “Come on then” Mr Benn said  Don’t you have to go to work?” “Thats where we’re going” Mr Benn said his goodbyes to Buffy, and both men set off down Sesame Street, then onto Coronation St, they walked past the churchyard, the Sexton was digging, and he had one foot in the grave, the two walked on, Mr Benn asked “You never told me what happened to your first wife?” “Oh we got divorced, she liked to play away, but from now on, it’s the good life with Buffy” “How did you meet” “It was a blind date” They reached the fun fair, Hector unlocked the gates and they went in. “How’s the fairground going?” “Oh it’s boon time at the moment, and when we are open all hours in the summer, it’s a real earner” Here we are then, this is your transport home” “But it’s just a roundabout” Said Mr Benn, “Ah but not just any roundabout, this is the magic roundabout” 
•     Next thing he knew Mr Benn was back home in bed.

Ps, Has anyone else had problem with the WordPress edit mode ? It seems very intermittent. I’ve found a little trick is to start the edit at the bottom and work up, and don’t forget to save if it stops working.
