[TheCosmicPotato]

[glennirish]

[es78xx]

omg this is one of my earliest memories

[simonswain100]

Grandpa's flumpet was in fact a trombone, played by an un-credited George Chisholm

[tesmo2]

0:56 I could not stop laughing. I'm 14, and I think this is the best TV Program along with the clangers, they should really bring these back, all the new animations out now arn't near as good as the ones that were out years ago, I missed out on alot of cool tv.

[ploppans]

@tesmo2 hey dude im 39 and full respect to you for being into the old skool tv..Nice one mate

[tesmo2]

@ploppans ;) Flumps for the win~

[wearenotalone2012]

I remember watching this :( I am now 34 years of age :(

Its all Good :D

[ThePaulChoice]

This simply made me cry. I associate this particular episode with my Grandma - remember so vividly watching it with her as a small child.

[avalanchesuperstar]

Try watching this on shrooms. It makes you think they're eating your brain stesms and they devour your poop. TRY IT.

[marsjolta]

quality aint seen this is years

[TheLqwes]

never forget the mother fucking flumps

[Grahampk73]

Great memories, this was one of the earliest shows I remember watching. Thanks for uploading this

[thesunreport]

The quality of British TV is directly related to the amount of clarinet in the theme tune. (true fax!!!)

xD

[Skraboing649]

@thesunreport It's trombone, but yeah...the theory holds :D

[thesunreport]

@Skraboing649 ...lol...ACTUALLY...it's both...it starts with trombone, then the clarinet kicks in at 0:06....;p

[456KatieGirl]

[vicdeakin]

I'd forgotten Perkin. Excellent stuff.

[DrDonzo88]

A 20-minute programme? Children had a lot of time on their hands back then.

[mrporpoley]

fond memories!!!

[1974kelvo]

This takes me back - used to love these

And if that theme music's familiar then it was used in the recent TV ads for Autotrader...

[kitty3309]

I`m umpty as well!

[MsPeachy3]

My god, I had forgotten Flumps! Remembered Bagpuss, and found them on the suggestions!

[kitty3309]

@MsPeachy3 How could you forget Perkin and Pootle?!

[jo75tiger]

I used to love this, my favourite! I wanted to be a flump as a kiddie.

[jtmorgans]

If only the blow would wind...lol.. luv this.x

[darkxaur]

God, I'm practically a fossil for remembering when this was on TV.....:(

[heidi12ish]

I so love the flumps, i always watched it, its alot better then the rubbish on the tv now. No one seems to remember them apart from me.

[Lionessfish]

Is Perkin meditating?

[drav6]

they look like indian sweets...laddu

[TributeToThePast]

@drav6 I just looked those up, and they really do :) I think my dad might have brought some of those back from his travels to India once or twice...

[drav6]

@TributeToThePast yep i remember watching the flumps as a child and experiencing a craving for laddu's....great memories thanks:)

[Whatever4690]

Turd family lol.

[quaxk]

oh look, the turd family!

[099749]

@quaxk I only know one other person that knows this show I come here thinking that just maybe someone else might like this show, possibly share signed photos, swap toys and you call them the turd family...cry

[Dhekelian]

Quality English TV for young kids, perhaps they should look more to the past for our younger viewers instead of the crap they are force feed now.

[Spedding101]

@Dhekelian Some of the stuff these days is great and influenced by these sort of things.

In The Night Garden was influenced by Oliver Postgate

[2Bdecided]

The DVD release is poor quality - really washed out colours and wobbly jumpy film. This is far better (apart from YouTube fuzziness!). My kids think this story is great - Thank you!

[zenzombie72]

Not quite Oliver Postgate but still brilliant.

[doghous3]

holy cow, this rolls back the years..

[dyna123mite]

It actually says gate.

[quizman1967]

There's probably a good reason it says "gay" as Gay Soper was the narrator of this fabulous 70's children's series. Poor Perkin! It's not nice to be "umpty"!

[weirdOparade]

sweeeeeeeet one :) oh, how lovely xxx

[cristecha]

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAH cara da Debbie isso

[heatherblackscott]

at 4:24

look at the top left hand corner

it looks like it says "gay"

[gavhenrad]

it does say gay. My God. I am never letting my son watch this evil in case he turns into a bummer boy. In fact, I fancy a bit of male loving myself now. And its is all the Flumps fault. And yours for pointing it out!!

[gsxrgaz1000]

Gay Hen Rad

[gsxrgaz1000]

@gavhenrad Gay Hen Rad

[lordflanderwell]

@gavhenrad lol

[jo1974h]

OMG I remembered what happened in this episode when I started watching it and I'm 35! I've just ordered the dvd for my daughters and hope they enjoy it as much as i did.

[Saandvich]

this is pretty good.

[holteender55]

it would be sound bein pootle good times

[cswamh]

dont remember the programme but the theme tune sounds really familiar is it used on something now?

[GGBatigol]

It's used on the Autotrader ad's mate!

[firman76imation]

- i couldnt remember the name of this......

24 years later . - and still very great.

thanks

[neemz2000]

When I wear my wooly hat I still get called Pootle.

[Halfpintboy]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, thankyou for posting this I used to sit with my Dad at lunchtimes and watch it, I haven't been well recently and that has made my day can't stop smilng.

[lordflanderwell]

hope ur feeling better!

[TheMasterNo6]

Fucking loved The Flumps. Perkin was the moody one. As a child I'd don a bobble woolly hat and watch the show when it was on at lunchtime weekdays, or if I was allowed to stay home from school sick or if Mum let me stay home after lunchtime from Primary School....thems the days! Mum used to call me Pootle an all!

[jonybeam]

can you express yourself without using the f word or are you that devoid of any intelligence that it is the only way you can?

[TheMasterNo6]

OOh! Who are you? youtube.coms very own self-appointed (OPINIONATED?!) thought police AND censor? Do you trawl through ALL the comments others make to then insult them? Probably. Ok, heres a few P words: 'POMPOUS, POSTURING, PREENING, POLTROON.....That better for you? If you don't like someones flippancyy then don't bother to be arrogant and insulting and simply IGNORE it. Oh and a final one: YOU PRAT!!

[emeraldsaphire]

wow

[bichoalder]

thanks sooo much for posting this - the flumps were my very very favourite when I was little, this takes me right back!!

[dougiewhite778]

The way they all ran off from the brick was funny "oh my ribbons perked up" ha

[bliddynumpty]

My mom said I was just like Pootle when I little LOL

[darthiggy212]

The Flumps are seroiusly funny and espesilly that little whit guy, with the bobble hat, pouffle, he's really something cute!!

[djjoff]

He's called Pootle.

[darthiggy212]

I was born when this wasn't out anymore so I don't really rememeer anything, because I never watched it. It was funny though, one night, me and my brother sat down and we thought "The Flumps" what a stupid name! Lets see how stupid it is. We watched it an laughed our heads off. The Flumps are totally hillarois!

[shaneski75]

don't F with the Flumps

[UncleFeedle]

Suddenly, I'm a 7yr old, school-skiving little sod again. They need to bring this back, with Jane Horrocks doing the voices.

[fourthwind1]

Born 76, dont know when i first saw it but the music stayed with me and now i think there well funny!! dont mess with the flumps!!

[topliff12345]

i remember this one !

[w1gg5]

ha! id forgotten all about this show! some1 was singing the theme and it drove me nuts trying to figure out wot it was! ah childhood memories, i was born in 77 not sure when i used to watch it though.

[fraserkatie]

My birth year 1976! I remember sitting down as a two year old watching this in 1977!

[NameNotaNumber]

This is serious OLD SCHOOL tv. The Cloud episode is my earliest memory of a TV show, it's incredible how well I remember it.
