Bill and Ben (TV series)
Bill and Ben is a British programme for young children that aired between 4 January 2001 and 10 December 2002 for two series. The TV series is a remake of the 1952 TV series Flower Pot Men. Bill and Ben was first initiated by Mark Lovick, a producer and director from Sydney, Australia, in the 1990s, with Laurence Harbottle, legal trustee of the Freda Lingstrom Estate, London. However, this arrangement was curtailed, before the copyright expired. The TV series was distributed by BBC Worldwide.
