[Team2Sexy]

i used to shit my pants during the night scene, when the burglars tried to steal the wages money from the safe.

Mister Ducan doesn't like this video...

[josepheuan09]

Bertha was the first VHS I ever owned!

Happy times :)

[MadiZone]

I remember this from 20 years ago. It was shown, dubbed, in Denmark. "Skønne Bertha" and "Postmand Per". Thanks to the BBC for creating entertaining shows for the rest of the world's children to see.

[WardyLion]

For 3 days I have been whistling this tune with no idea what it was but familiar nontheless. I just twigged a few minutes ago that it was this and the memories came flooding back!

Thanks for this!

everybody here in Perú older than 24 and younger than 30 probably remembers bertha and many other shows from britain or europe since the state channel ran these shows for years and were very popular, really.

[Silverspring777]

IF You guys feel sweet memories of this song and the past decades, you should listen and discover the magic of the canterbury scene music of rock progresivve, i believe this sing has much in common with that kind of music so i'd recommend bands GREAT bands as ; CAMEL - breathless, I can see your house from here albums, RICHARD SINCLAIR, CARAVAN,etc etc, good luck feeling the same magic that i feel ...!

[JvZoneOfficial]

Hands up if you really want a BERTHA MACHINE with you!!

[JvZoneOfficial]

i used to watch it in PERU(south america)

in sapnish,but the song intro was always in english!!i really love that song!!thanks!!

[Inski584]

Superb,my favorite childhood cartooon.

[mindpoet]

oh my God.. nostalgia attack!!

[Alewolf01]

Eddsworld brought me here XD

[HodmoxTheCritic]

@Alewolf01 Hang on, Eddsworld had a cultural reference to Bertha!?

[xXShortEmoKidXx]

@HodmoxTheCritic I suppose so. I've never heard of this show, though. Maybe it was only in the United Kingdom?

[Alewolf01]

@HodmoxTheCritic hello hellhold played this when there in the elevator

[BadGirlOfAutism]

For some reason i could just imagine Barry White singing this.

[axack9]

i PHYSICALLY cant be angry when i hear this song

[kerneldave]

hahah i remember this when i was a kid!!!

[jmsbradl]

I had this LP!

[Meanmanmartin2007]

@jmsbradl Can u remember anything about the other songs on it?

[jmsbradl]

@Meanmanmartin2007 No - sorry!

[UberGamer1030]

Hello Hellhole

[jkk45]

cheesy synths ftw

[Meanmanmartin2007]

Thanks for uploading this onto here.

I've not got the soundtrack album but I've got this extended version of the theme tune on a cassette called Themes From Children's BBC. I copied it over to my Ipod and I've listened to it many times on the journey home from work/college in the evening.

[vancouverGamr]

I swear to god if anyone dislikes this..

[VGRetro]

Is it me, or did preschool shows of the day have better theme songs than any other? I would probably say this is one of the top 3 for best and catchiest of this category.

[FuroraCeltica]

Thumbs up if this tune transported you back to being a kid

[tamandwayne]

Awsome

[divinedarcy]

Fantastic! Please please please upload the other songs!

[xxfocusstxx]

Wasnt this programe re released in the late 90s or maybe early 00s coz i was born in 1990 and remember watching a couple of episode

[grimTales1]

This song rocks - I remember when Bertha originally aired as a kid in the 80's but didnt know they did a full length version of the theme tune.

[galloway62042009]

WTLNetwork sent me here

[KnapfordMaster98]

This is a great find. Dont sell that soundtrack. Hold on to it.

[MP1983]

Oh man, I haven't seen this show for ages. Used to really love it as a kid in the 80s. I believe this is the first time I've heard the theme song in English. I think it was dubbed in Finnish over here.

[ClockworkOrchestra]

The greatest song of all time.

[0028dan]

Fantastic. Thank you! Bet it's worth quite a bit.

[mspubquiz83]

this is fucking banging

[Robogabriel]

I've never seen this show, but I love this song. It kinda reminds me of Paul Williams.

[BiffBaffBuffer]

@darkdaniel100, i remember this music of Bertha so well, i was wanting to ask you if i could use it in a video please,? i can understand if you wouldnt want me too, but if i could, i would give you full credit for it?

[pakmanmanc]

Best Episode was the golf club one where they ran out of metal! remeber watching it after i had my tooth out in 1987. bring it back!!

[capmodesty]

@pakmanmanc I wouldn't want them to, the narrator and main voceover passed away during the late 80s, and you just know it wouldn't be the same, look at Thomas, Fireman Sam and Postman Pat and you'll see what I mean. It's sad but Bertha would be better rebroadcast rather than remade, they just wouldn't do it justice.

[pakmanmanc]

@capmodesty i know he died, he was in the origional willy wonka film (another faveorite) not to mention a million other things, he was a reali famous actor in his day.

[TheChromeCatastrophe]

:'(

Bertha, Postman Pat, Fourways Farm, Brum....

I miss the old days!! Nostalgia!

[LordElfarium]

i miss this show

[Rydo182]

Lmao, can't believe the BBC released an LP for this legendary show. Would never happen today.

[littlebritain80]

I'm 30 and I remember watching this when I was 5!! My favorite programme then,and Postman Pat!!! :-))))

[Andi090386]

@littlebritain80 Damn & there was me thinking I was old being 25. I rember this along with Postman Pat, Fireman Sam etc etc etc

[eltonator]

@littlebritain80 Wait a second, you watched this when you were a kid, and you're 30?! God, I watched this as a kid, too, I feel so old!

[DXMorpheus]

I remember watching this as a kid, remember liking this type of animation as a kid, watching this, Postman Pat and Charlie Chalk, man since computers became mainstream and computer animation became easier to do, children's tv has gone downhill since the these good old days.

[capmodesty]

@DXMorpheus There just doesn't seem to be the love of making childrens TV that there used to be. Such a shame.

[Dinosaur9317]

last time I watched this I was really ill and now i'm scared of it! im shaking right now! how sad...i used to love it too...:(

[Meanmanmartin2007]

@Dinosaur9317 I'm quite curious to find out, why would watching a programme when you are ill make you scared of it? Surely if you're not feeling well, a programme you really love watching would cheer you up

[Dinosaur9317]

@Meanmanmartin2007 I know right? I don't even know what happened there- it's just the crazy things that happens to me when I go through a flu, like being afraid (temporarily) of The Nightmare Before Christmas *shurgs* I dunno, but it's ok now, of course. :) I couldn't stay scared of Bertha for long- long to be fair, it is kinda creepy if you think about it, I mean, it's a machine with a face that comes to life at night... but it's still a brilliant classic! :D

[Meanmanmartin2007]

@Dinosaur9317 Thanks for taking the time to explain.

[Dinosaur9317]

@Meanmanmartin2007 You're very welcome :)

[brookpete]

OMG - I feel so young but old if that makes any sense...I loved this program and always cried when it finished!! Bring back Bertha PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

[ayeram]

[TheMEGAMADMAN666]

[minimartin3]

[muscleboi4use]

Oh FANTASTIC!! Such a fun theme! I found myself singing this this the other day at work, and thought I'd look for it on YouTube! Thank you for uploading!

[Latias82]

Fantastic! I never knew there was a full version!!!

[Captstar2]

This was GREAT! Like BRILL! Had me singing along and I really like that lil intro.

[TheKipperRunsAgain]

Thanks for sharing. Great to hear the full version of this.

I knew of an extended version of the theme tune, but didn't realise there was a full soundtrack album. If by any chance you're able to upload any of the other songs from it, I'd love to hear them. :)

[jrbrewin]

@TheKipperRunsAgain i second that! moar uploads please!

[DemonTomatoDave]

Comin' to work on Mondays, well, it never seems too hard - when you know you've got your friends to greet you, when you've punched your card. :)
