The Scottish DJ will release all the music from the 70s show on April 22
There were only 13 original episodes and the animation was rudimentary but for Mark Fellowes, Mr Benn has been his guiding light.
“As If By Magic” the shopkeeper would appear, and help Mr Benn choose a costume. He’d put it on, and leave through a magic door at the back of the changing room to enter a world based on his costume.Now, for the first time, all the music used in the original Mr Benn series and the 2005 reboot Gladiator is going to be released for Record Store Day on April 22.
“The guy that ran the shop – Robin Douglas –inspired me to become a DJ, so at age 12 I got some decks and began playing at parties around the area.” “It was so nice for my dad to see what I did after all the noise I put him and my mum through as a youngster.” “He met David as their children went to the same school in Putney. David told him about this character Mr Benn he had, and Duncan told him he had just the piece of music for him. I’ve always loved Mr Benn, and in the early 90s I got to meet David McKee, and the original producer Clive Juster, and we started discussing some ideas about how to bring Mr Benn up to date, and find a way of interacting with Mr Benn’s huge audience”.
“I am extremely grateful to everyone that follows my Twitter account. I get lots of lovely messages saying I’m kind and helpful and I think that’s because of Mr Benn, so I hope I’m doing him justice.
