No,it definitely wasn't Mr Benn.It had a pretty similar feel all right.The one episode of it that I can remember in any clear detail had him in a kind of Arabian Nights type scenario and it featured a genie in a lamp.The main character got hold of the lamp and was making all kinds of riches and treasure appear for himself and an open top sportscar.There was a scene with him driving off in the sportscar with I think maybe all his treasure loaded into it and the genie flying in the air chasing him,there was an ariel view from the genies POV of the car speeding down a road.The genie I think makes the car disappear and he catches up with the pianist.The genie who I think was giant sized points his finger threateningly at the pianists nose then theres a flash and hes back in the real world with the adventure over.It always used to end like that,with him transported back just when something bad or dangerous was going to happen,he might have been in bed,not sure.
That exact episode is listed here in the RTE Guide, 26th October 1980. It was a pink sports car.
