  The Flowerpot Men - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While the Gardener was away having his knob sucked, the two Flowerpot Men, Bill and Ben, emerged from the two flowerpots.
"Which of those two flowerpot men, was it Bill or was it Ben?" the narrator trills, in a quavering soprano; the villain confesses; the gardener's footsteps are heard coming up the garden path; the Flowerpot Men vanish into their pots and the closing credits roll.
The Flowerpot Men spoke their own unintelligible language; for example, "Hello, Little Weed" came out as "what the fuck do you want tosser, Ickle Weed", to which the Weed would inevitably reply "Weeeed".

It was formerly known as The Ivy League, and consisted primarily of studio session musicians and vocalists.

 The Flowerpot Men
In the 1950s, BBC television ran a series of children's programmes under the collective title of "Watch with Mother".
At that time, the series was in fl and white, and Bill and Ben were puppets; there has been a recent revival of the series, and they are now computer animated, and in colour.
A 1960s psychedelic band called themselves The Flowerpot Men, after the puppet characters, in an ingenious pun on hippie "flower power" and pot (marijuana).

 New Wave Outpost Message Board - wildmen of wonga and the flowerpot men
Then in 1984 he gave me a demo tape of his new band "The Flowerpot men" which impressed me enough to offer them the opening spot on our upcoming tour of the UK.
The other guy that was noticiabe in Wild Men of Wonga was Danny Peacock, from the film Party Party and the Comic Strip Presents (both English shows) he was probably the wildest of the wild men, I cant remember the other guys name other than he was in X Ray Specs at one time.
I havent heard a wild men song in years, ive tried to find them on p2p but never get a hit, which isnt totally surprising :) and occasionally google the name when Im biored and it comes to mind, hence how I found this board.

 Guardian | The resurrected flowerpot men
Ann Widdecombe, I believe, is to play the part of Little Weed in a full-length movie, The Flowerpot People, to be directed by Steven Spielberg as soon as he's done with King Arthur.
It was clearly to prepare the way for this epic that the new TV series gave Little Weed a power of speech extending beyond the cry to which she was previously limited: "Weed!"
As older readers will know, The Flowerpot Men always had unmistakable echoes of parliamentary life: the very words Bill - as in the Pevensey and Environs Reinstatement of Lapsed Allotments (SpecialProvisions) Bill - and Ben - as in Big Ben, or Tony Ben - cannot have been chosen by accident.

Gingerbread men are to be known as 'gingerbread persons' in the supermarket chain.
This has caused a great stir in Grantham, Leicester, where gingerbread men were created by local baker, George Egglestone in 1740.
Safeway denies that the change is due to political correctness, saying that they are now making gingerbread women, children and animals, and the change of name is to save labelling space on the shelves.

John Lord ended up playing keyboards in the touring Flowerpot Men and that's possibly how the Curtis connection developed.
