I'm really sad about this as I loved Mr Benn when I was a child, and still do. I went to one of his book signings 3 years ago and felt like I was the only adult there amongst hoards of children. He was very good with the children and they seemed to really like him.

Oh I loved Mr Benn and bought the 50th Anniversary DVD last year I think, was going cheap in Sainsburys and couldnt refuse!

RIP David McKee, you kept me engrossed as a child and would wonder what story lay ahead for Mr Benn each epiosde
