'The Hunter' by David McKee

Mr Benn dons a safari suit and steps through the door of the costume shop’s changing room; he emerges from a tent in a hot, steamy jungle, where a big game hunter mistakes him for his guide. Mr Benn doesn’t want to see any of the animals hurt by the hunter’s gun, so he leads the man on a merry dance through the jungle, dismissing each animal as too small a challenge for him…

Notes:
*Featuring Mr Benn and the Shopkeeper

*This episode was later banned by the BBC after several viewers complained that it advocated the hunting of animals - depsite the fact that Mr Benn clearly demonstrates that hunting is wrong and should be stopped (I ask you: aren't some people stupid?!)
