Trumpton opening titles

[chopsyuk]

Classic kids program :)

[MrNzzo]

Made me smile as soon as the music started.

[hobsteral]

*wipes tear

[Kelly14UK]

Oh right, time to ask what's being getting to me for weeks, now. WHY do all clocks have IIII for Four instead of IV ? Why?

[ShivuTheWolf]

Ah, yes!

The firemen!

That never actually put out fires... :|

Oh, well! I really love this show <3

Nostalgia!

[ChevronTango]

I always wondered if the song changed at different times of the day because they only played this one at 9 when there were 9 chimes

[stevepjk]

@ChevronTango good question, the tune was obviously written just for the 9 chime, whereas the clock would really have a tune set to accommodate one to twelve chimes

it would be a very short tune at one wouldn't it

dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, BONG, dun, dun, dun, dun.

[CSBlakebrough]

Up to very recently Nick Jr was still showing Trumpton (as well as Camberwick Green, Chigley and assorted other old kids show) in a clssic kids strand at about 9pm - tragically they've stopped now and it's just current shows played right though. Shame as my 4 year old was loving seeing the shows daddy watched at her age, and i was having a blast seeing them again.

Surely in this day and age we can get a classic kids show channel? We've got them for everything else!

[gte113]

used to love trumpton,but thank god i never livid there. a dozen houses in the village and a fire or a fallen chimney every day. not very good odds.but at least they had a well drilled fire service.all together now"pugh,pugh,barney mcgrew,cuthbert,dibble and grub" legends : )

[fishyfingersparty]

Sweet.

[CuteNerdieDudette]

Who can't like Trumpton?

[The69ersFC]

Time.....for Trumpton.

[6edTelevision]

Did the fire brigade ever get called out to a fire in Trumpton? They got called out for all sorts of things such as to put posters up or fix the Town Hall Clock but never a fire. I wonder what the council tax payers of Trumpton thought?

[dannytheangel]

In my opinion I thought this was the Worst! TV programme Ever Made!

It drove me insane. No! The narrator drove me insane.

I mean ok it is pretty good back then in the 60's but...Right Now I would suffer listening to this annoying narrator and Mostly the Music.

[davesdolphins06]

my god what a blast from the past the good good old days wish they would come back and rescue me from this dire tragic world we got now

[AMikeOnLine]

I was out shopping with my mum in the late 70s' and we went into boots the chemist when i spotted a bag of smoke. I exitidly said 'Look mum, a bag of smoke from the trains in trumpton'...She said...'thats not smoke it's cotton wool'....I've felt a right twat ever since !

[80sCartoonsGirl]

@AMikeOnLine I think that's the most awesome comment I've ever read on YouTube!!

[anonUK]

@AMikeOnLine

Why have you felt a twat because of that? How old were you then- 22?

[laverymo]

Awe I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Those were the best days of my life. Brilliant. x

[MrDjc1970]

I live in the same village as brian cant but its ok....i dont need to beg like mrbinkybonky for a thumbs up. lol but good memories.

[JakeLyne3]

[TomthatiscalledTom]

There's gonna be a riot down in Trumpton tonight!

[MickeyLove01]

[Lytton333]

There's something timeless about the Trumpton clock..

[jayne1969able]

trumpton lol still makes me giggle

[mrbinkybonky]

[8492grob]

BRIAN CANT

[pinkkitton]

foetus september

[4165mc]

this used to fascinate me - the two figures coming out of the castle and moving about. i can remember the feeling- its magical. nothing is experienced with quite the same joy when you're an adult...

[OperationAnime262]

A village void of all problems no Muslims, no illegal Europeans, Political correctiness was no where to be seen. Ahh the good old days.

[mariuskwint]

@OperationAnime262

Shameful comment, as HenrySwanson says. Have you listened to yourself?

[glitchywitchymeg125]

you should see the collection my mother has. 1 cabinet and 2 cases full of these figures and she is still colecting them

[jayneykerblaney]

Oh God, I'd forgotten how much I loved those metal figures that came out and rang the bell at the beginning. I think I was a weird kid in the 70's

[LOCOMOTIONNUMBER1]

If this was today the metal figures on the clock would have been stolen by metal thieves.

[dustyb1605]

The residents of Trumpton, what a bunch of Cants.

[mymegbear]

I alwats thought Brian Cant sounded like he was speakin in a phone box-

and I've been proved right!

[Kelly14UK]

This stuff can put me in a dream drinking on YT lol! Takes me way back nearly 40 years...

[Moonshinedistiller]

Brian Cunt.

[Kelly14UK]

@Moonshinedistiller Any need for that?

[Moonshinedistiller]

@Kelly14UK sorry

[Kelly14UK]

@Moonshinedistiller Ah don't worry about it. We had a guy called James Cant at school and I called him the obvious cos I hated him lol!

[ryhorn100]

Trumpton, huh? Maybe Donald Trump would love to invest in the place, LOL! On a more serious note, this is just a sample of how amazing kids' TV used to be until it got ravaged by new shows that are more about excessive CGI and less about proper stories.

[FCWatford1]

running storyline that the fire chief NEVER got to put out a fire! closest was when Chippie Minton's rocking horse got put on top of Trumpton bonfire. Now then folks, this is a fire chief who yearned to see fire, wanted to see things in flames and was

gutted when this never happened! doesn't really inspire confidence in him does it?

[snert13]

aaahh yes .proper kids telly.

[Nibor7301]

I had a tape with an episode or two of this when I was a kid. Hearing this again after so long is quite the memory lane.

[LOCOMOTIONNUMBER1]

Who owned the private shop in Trumpton?

[flump1fy]

Beautiful. I needed to remember today what it was like when I was 6 years old. :-)

[looseSpark]

It used to bother me that the "bong" never coincided with the guy hitting the bell.

[JakeAnnetts]

Those presenters always sounded like they had a cardboard box on their heads.

ha ha... memories. :o)

[chippyhippychick]

@freshinit I am still in love with him!!

[batmanofni]

Can anyone distinguish betwen Trumpton, Chiggley and Camberwick Green. I have vauge memories of one or all of these shows.

[DiamondSmilesAgain]

When I was a kid I always wanted to go back in the clock with them. Thought there might be a big party going on and I was missing something!

[crazylegspete]

SO LOVE THIS, IM ALL CHOKED UP , IT BRINGS BACK SO MANY MEMORIES

[martynpank]

@freshinit Legend!

[Noodles37UK]

I have the 24 Noddy books 1949- 63. 

[danhatechav]

Trip to trumpton.

[MadPropsToTheHood]

Good bit of nostalgia there.

[Kelly14UK]

It's all gone, hasn't it? I'm 43 this year, but this is like yesterday, cos I remember the whole lot....

[iosnick]

Brian Cant always sounded like he was in a broom cupboard narrating these.

[eldospinks]

@iosnick He was. The one Philip Schofield inhabited in later years.

[fadux1]

Three channels to watch so the programmes had to be the cream to get on and they were : )

[joeblowthehot]

music sounds like Freddie Phillips!!

[055697]

Trumpton was really quite a sinister place, and the TV series was just a farago of lies and untruths. In reality it was a place full of child sacrifice, diabolic paganism and incest. You wouldn't want to go there, seriously.

[burnzgotshot]

@055697 You must be thinking of 'in the night garden'.

[ProjectFlashlight612]

@055697 That's exactly right. Few people know that HP Lovecraft's last epic tale of primal horror and eldritch menace was originally called 'The Shadow Over Trumpton'.

[londoncalling35]

but Mr Benn had to be my favourite!

[londoncalling35]

Wow! Haven't seen this for over 30 years, probably since I was 6! I remember getting really excited when the figures came out... ahhh, innocent times :)

[mHickland007]

i love the old programmes it was good old television

[es78xx]

this is one of my earliest memories.

[DeformedSquirrel]

this kicks off

[Strawberry7Lynn]

What was the name of the show that also featured the sound of a clockwork toy unwinding?

[acheface]

@Strawberry7Lynn  Camberwick Green.. I think.

[Jamandmand]

These were the days when children were taught how to speak properly, with proper grammer - it all started to change with Pob & the Telly Tubbies, how were they supposed to learn anything from that???

[Homeski]

@Jamandmand *Grammar...

[trossachs2003]

@Jamandmand

Can't really blame the kids tv - in the 50s and 60s kids were watching two stupid flowerpot men who went flobalobalob

[ledaddymac]

great memories..total folk cartoons!

[Pignoah]

My Dad used to get me watching this and The Herbs and I really love that sense of personality you get with these stopmotion puppet/toy shows.

[tarporley2947]

telling the time fur trumpton!!!!!

[JoeStunner]

Brian Cant and Derek Griffiths: LEGENDS!

[miss2tone]

I am small again.

Brian Cant was fabulous as was Derek Griffiths.

[Blenkin6]

Brian Cant is an absolute legend!

[nickleach62]

@freshinit

At one point the UK version of the Speak & Spell toy had Brian Cant's voice digitised into it!

[GBDeadnation]

Proper kids television, before the format became a vehicle for talentless presenters, and an establishment tool for multiracial propaganda.

[smilingsgood]

notice how the clock chimes after the bell hit, excellent. . Yes Brian Cant !!!!!

[despoolkop]

iam 4 again:)

[Spud1794]

@despoolkop how did that happen? xD

[craguk1]

my mother does

[Apophisguard]

Does Donald Trump own Trumpton?

[spongeything]

No, I think he's the mayor

[Apophisguard]

Lol

[gazzaphil]

brian cant was and always will be a legend!!!!

[mrspivvy]

I think miss lovelace with her little doggies, daphne and lulu, was on wheels rather than legs

[gallafey]

The Trumpton Fire service never went to fires did they & that fire engaine only did 10 mile an hour

[cov8876]

god bless the fire guard !!!

[rurmundo]

A BIGBEN HISTORY?

[MiraSekelsky]

These are all from the good old days before kid's TV was a really quick succession of flashing images and violence and shouting!!!

[BuddahUK]

@MiraSekelsky Totally agree with you. Childrens TV when I grew up was magical

[Strawberry7Lynn]

@MiraSekelsky He was a right "Cant", ha ha!

[tarfun5959]

@MiraSekelsky The latter sounds awesome.

[EdJ343]

@MiraSekelsky You talk about Edgar Wright's personal style oeuvre like it's a bad thing.

[ReeceHughesRocks]

@MiraSekelsky boring cunt

[hcvang]

@MiraSekelsky the 70s and 80s were damn good too... best animation was done in those decades of the 60s-80s... after that, everything went to shit... apart from a few really good things, ofcourse. there's always the odd exception.

[curtess74]

@hcvang THOSE WERE THE DAYS I WOULD GIVE EVERYTHING IV'E GOT JUST TO GO BACK TO THE CALMNESS OF THE WORLD IN THOSE DAYS

[mrangry1960]

@curtess74 Totally agree, I loved the 60s and 70s, when I was growing up (born in 1960) before the country went down the toilet in the 80s

[BenjaniKanuUtaka]

@MiraSekelsky Well i havent seen violence on cbeebies yet...

[martynpank]

Wish I lived in Trumpton.

[madbob5a]

@martynpank Me to they were happy sensible days.

[djearthstu]

@martynpank i do after a few drinks



[grulby]

Amazing nostalgia. The only thing that annoys me is that the chime of the cymbal is out of synch with him actually hitting it. Not "steadily or sensibly" !!

[cbvgg]

PLZ PUT FULL VERSION ON!

[blakey66]

matrags iam the same as you it brings tears to my eyes to

[matrags]

brings a tear to my eye.

[dannytheangel]

Scary

[sheep21]

... never to slowly, never to quickly... ahh brilliance

[gerardsbabe]

OMG ..... IM getting sooo old.. but i love it.. soo many childhood memories

[redwest01]

The Best kids short programme ever!!! Timeless!!!!!

[matrags]

The music on this a camber wick green was/is fantastic. Can you imagine a show like this in todays crazy world

[DIAMONDGEEZER64]

Wow. that brings back a few memories, 67/68 I think. we only had B/W and bbc1 and itv in those days. Its rather strange seeing it again after so many years. where have all those years gone? Thanks for posting anyway.

[bossnumberonefan]

I WOULD LOVE A TAB OF THIS

[spacebats]

would love a tab to this

[kakaze]

i love the whole minimalist but poor quality 60s sound recording ways....so....freaky

[XanderPrime]

ah memories XD, this show was the absolute shit :P

[duly666]

i tink my generation were the last 2 watch these cuz i member ivor the engine and the herb garden and im turnin 18 this year lol

[darganx]

Brian Cant, legend.

[darganx]

It always sounded like he was doing his narration from a broom cupboard.

[theseus27]

Maybe he was!!!!

:)

[MrSonicAdvance]

Ah! That music takes me back! Lovely! :-)

[berlinmitte10117]

Brian Cant could! Rock on Brian.

[tabitha501]

That looks like the clock in Calais...

[Jinx903]

I thought this thme sounded a bit sort of Camberwick Green, and it is a bit looking at it!

[bunnysss]

Look and listen and see how much effort went in to making these programs. Brian Cants wonderful voice, Freddie Phillips playing guitar. Thank you Mr Murray.

[LavernaRivers]

i loved this as a kid but my little sister is 13 years younger and wouldent be able to watch it she would find it 2 boring.nobody sings or throws pies at people

[DubWren]

zen

[theymademedoit0000]

Loved that show .Always hated the end cause when the factory hooter went ,and they all came out and danced ,you knew the end was coming,and you started to think `Shit i bet it`s Play Away or something crap tomorrow..

[munkeny]

hahaha

[kpuc1973]

man that's so wrong

P L A Y

PLayaway awyaywaywaywaywaywaywaywa playaway

yeah

[krakenwave]

Its all Brian Cant innit

[katylied48]

where did it all go wrong

[NeuropolitiqueCOGGER]

indeed

[graceroseline]

oh how sweet!

just lovely.

everythings just too fast and violent these days.

[gards2]

They are fucking kids heads up these days, to what agenda I don't know. The innocence of childhood is being taken away by some evil corporate bastard who wants crime and death.

[mikkifly]

everyones saying brian cant but i bet he fucking can

[Nortsgaf]

Brian Cant comment - Hilarious!

[moonboots69]

ahh.. great memories.. whatever happened to Brian Cunt ?

[sarahkins08]

I am so glad I grew up in the 60's and 70's when childhood was exactly that, no computers, not much money, we just had an old black and white tv and these programmes bring back happy memories, thank you.

[kpuc1973]

yeah and you had to go to the park with charley the cat to find the paedophiles

nowadays they come to you, now that is service.

[jamgibsonjamgibson]

Childrens programmes shouldn't be trying to push anyones agenda

[R4ORT]

problem with todays kids tv is there always banging the green agenda fed up with it

[NuckinFuts666]

Brings back memories of a happier, simpler time. I realise with the state of the world today, just how lucky i was to have grown up in the 60's & 70's. I really feel sorry for todays kids. They just aren't allowed a childhood anymore :(

[nichmars]

I'm sure each generation feels like that.

[dudedude270]

im a 90's kid and i think you had so much better cartoons back then, heres theres too much animation or commercialisation( theres action figures and trading cards for example)

[geffel]

genius

[kuthikanjari]

Thanks for posting these, I watched these growing up in the 80's ahhh them were the days!

[soulyemane]

I loved the firemen in this series.Anyone remember their names?

[benjy1649]

Pugh,Pugh, Cuthbert Dibble and Grub

[kaiserkarlzoso]

youre forgetting barney mcgrew

[lasgalen]

Fair do's, I was watching these in the 90's when I was a kid. Good times.

[JasonB1969]

I remember watching Trumpton, Camberwick Green and Chigley in the mid 70's I guess. I am 38 so this was over 30 years ago now. It's like it was yesterday though when I see these clips on Youtube. Ahhh happy days of childhood.

[spongeything]

That was Camberwick Green, another classic!

[vainparasite]

lol it proves what sad acts we could be in the 80s. imagine anyone setting fire to spongebob nowadays. No dont imagine that its far too sad, poor little fellow but i could gladly fire a teletubby.

[XxDizzyRhizxX]

It might be...YEAH! I know what you mean it is disturbing but i dunno what it is!

[cottonwhiskersuk]

Thanks for the fond childhood memory revisited.

[Baylan72]

I remember watching this every time it was on. I think back in the late 60's
