The Flowerpot Men is a British children's program, produced by BBC television, first transmitted in 1952, and repeated regularly for more than twenty years. Originally, the program was part of a BBC children's television series titled Watch with Mother, with a different program each weekday, most of them involving string puppets. The Flowerpot Men was the story of Bill and Ben, two little men made of flower pots who lived at the bottom of an English suburban garden. A new version of the show called "Bill and Ben" was produced in 2001, this time involving stop-motion animation, 35mm film style and full color, and made by Creator/CosgroveHall Films with a team of ten animators.

* StrictlyFormula: Every episode of the original series was pretty much the same - while the gardener is away having his dinner, Bill and Ben emerge from their flowerpots and have a little adventure. A minor mishap occurs and Weed says her catchphrase, then the villain confesses. The adventure continues for a bit, then the gardener's footsteps are heard coming up the garden path, so the Flowerpot Men vanish into their pots and the closing credits roll. Averted in the remake.
