Who does this Bee remind you of, with its bowler hat and black suit? It has to be Mr Benn – an ordinary man who has extraordinary adventures. Created by David McKee over 50 years ago, he first appeared in children’s books and then in an animated BBC TV series first broadcast in 1971, and now Mr Benn’s magical adventures continue here in Manchester!
