Episode 16: Mr Benn
In one of those British TV references that sometimes happen in One Among the Sleepless, Lucy mentions the possibility of a visit from Mr Benn were he a reality. Mr Benn was the eponymous character of a 1970s BBC childrens' TV show. He used to go to a costume shop where, every week, he'd try on a different outfit. Once in the outfit, he'd pass through a door that led, not back to the shop, but to an adventure in keeping with the outfit he was wearing on that particular week.
It's probably the best children's show ever made (in my humble opinion).
Episode 16 also sees Mick and Sally on a lunch date, and Wayne go to far when it comes to making neighbourly housecalls. Damn, but he's horrible.
