its and bobs ............................... five minutes with: RAY BROOKS, The voice behind Mr Benn In 1968 I got a phone call out of the blue by the children’s illustrator Donald McKee. He said ‘would you like to do the voiceover for a TV show they are making of one of my books? It’s called Mr Benn’. I’d never heard of it. I said ‘yes’. The Mr Benn series is genius. There were only thirteen episodes, but kids of a certain generation remember them all their lives. He dresses up in a fancy dress shop, and has ‘adventures’ connected to the style of the costume he puts on, if you’re not familiar with it. I often give talks about my career – I’ve been appearing in films and on TV for years. In an early talk I mentioned Mr Benn, and said ‘as if by magic’ (which was the introduction line to the shopkeeper character, and something of a catchphrase) and everybody stood up and started applauding. I knew I was onto something. So now I base my talks on ‘the enduring magic’ of Mr Benn. Sometimes I meet someone for the first time, and they say ‘you’re Mr Benn, aren’t you?’ It’s not my face, and they don’t know my name: it’s my voice. I was brought up in Brighton. My mother was a bus conductor. She said ‘Ray, I’m going to send you to elocution lessons’. My teacher was called Pat Donovan, and I adored her. She’s responsible for my voice.
