Have read some.

Still wondering who Benson is.

Perhaps an alien replacement of Benton?

Benton's card is shown at the start.

I assume Benton will stagger out of the bushes, naked with implanted tubes strategically placed, to out the imposter with a Glasgow kiss, or his particular area's equivalent.

Yorkshire yodel?

Midsomer murder?

Cornish pasty?

Or the dreaded… Scotch finger!

Where is he from?

H 'The H Man' – the little card is wrong and I have replaced it, the actual character in Dr Who is Cpl Benson, later Sgt Benson etc. I thought he was called Benton until I looked it up!!!

Prey tell.

Thanks Forrester, I don't know why my computer told me otherwise! – I will retrieve the binned cards immediately!

Right, thanks all, its all changed on the blog and in my rules and cards. I am glad it Benton like I always thought it was!

Can you tell I was playing Jo Grant?….!!!

Your welcome?

Simple search had unlimited pages with Benton. Every mention was Benton.

Wouldn't even come up with any Benson. Though not even your blog, so maybe it's is mentioned elsewhere.

Where did you see it? I must have been some specific search for Benson.

Anyway, glad I could help.

Hi, all I can say is it appeared from somewhere, probably while I was doing an image search. I had always thought it was Benton, so it must have come from somewhere!!!

Computers do the whackiest things it seems…probably the 'Great Intelligence' in the works. I cannot find the name Benson anywhere either now. Bizarre.

Actors Peter and Perry Benson.

Hi again,

All I can think from looking through my browsing history is I accidentally typed something into a search, and I got a suggested search of 'Do You mean SGT Benson U.N.I.T?' and I got the impression I had been wrong. Who knows what happened, i am just glad there are folks able to correct me when I get stuff wrong!!!

Either way, It was nice to get my new 3-D printed 'Bessie' on table, which allowed me to use my Jon Pertwee and Katy Manning figures!
