2001 Series
On 2 January 2001, a second series named Bill and Ben began on CBBC on BBC Two, this time involving stop-motion animation, 35mm film style and full color, and made by Cosgrove Hall Films with a team of ten animators. Bill and Ben was narrated by John Thomson. The series currently airs in Ireland on RTEjr.
Many additions were implemented:
- A mean rosebush with buds in the neighbour's garden named Thistle.
- A magpie named Pry, obsessed by shiny treasures, often just bottle caps.
- A hedgehog named Boo.
- A worm named Whoops.
- A talking tomato named Ketchup.
- Weed is no longer a weed, but an enormous sunflower. Rather than whining, "Weed!", she spoke proper English. She played an "earth mother" role to Bill and Ben. She often assisted them.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“Rosalynn said, “Jimmy, if we could only get Prime Minister Begin and President Sadat up here on this mountain for a few days, I believe they might consider how they could prevent another war between their countries.” That gave me the idea, and a few weeks later, I invited both men to join me for a series of private talks. In September 1978, they both came to Camp David.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
