Mr Benn lives at No. 52 Festive Road. He's a regular suburban suited Sir who
pays irregular visits to a mysterious Fancy Dress Shop, run by an equally
mysterious fez-wearing Shopkeeper. The changing room is more mysterious still,
for once Mr Benn has put on one of the Shopkeeper's costumes he always finds
himself stepping out into a fantasy land in which he is the star performer. Each time
the land is different, in keeping with the costume Mr Benn has chosen. And
each time, problems are solved and situations sorted just before the Shopkeeper
mysteriously appears and directs Mr Benn through a magical portal, back
to the Changing Room and the suburban world again. Was his experience
for real? Mr Benn can't be sure, but after every adventure he always finds
himself holding a memento from his trip, back in the suburbs....

So here is the question, which costume, which land and what momento are you going to bring back ?

I'd put on a train driver's outfit, visit the Top Left Hand Corner of Wales, have a couple of pints with Jones The Steam and Dai Station, a trip with The Merioneth and Llantisilly Rail Traction Company Limited then bring back Idris the Dragon.

Cheers

As if by magic Sneijder appears

I'd have a Police uniform on, and I'd be a Motorway BiB for the day in this :
