Camberwick Green, Opening Theme

[@CarlB_1962]

Gordon Murray knew what childhood should be like and gave it to us in these magical programmes.

[@garystevens4303]

Hoorah! 😊

[@fruitking6916]

Very well said

[@35THIRTYFIVE]

T50s is nice

[@jackdonnelly4740]

⁠​⁠@@garystevens4303I love camberwick green even though it was my childhood and if you’re wondering i did used to Watch camberwick green as it used to air on nick jr classics camberwick green was one of my favourite nick jr classics shows but I have a trumptonshire dvd called camberwick green but I don’t have the other 2 trumptonshire dvds called trumpton and chigley but i shall ask my friend Francis to get me the 2 other trumptonshire dvds trumpton and chigley but the only trumptonshire dvd I have is camberwick green but I’m hoping to get trumpton and chigley on dvd.

Spot on 👍🏻

[@garyslater1243]

I'm an old man now, but those opening notes instantly took me back over 50 years ! Trumpton and Camberwick Green are gentle storytelling at its very, very best - timeless and utterly enchanting. (Why is the a tear rolling down my face ?)

[@robwalker9555]

Its just a windy miller, in your eye. Its okay.

[@1515327E]

It’s because you have hiraeth - a Welsh word with no English translation, but means a loving memory of a past, which brings peace and comfort, but also pain, due to not ever being able to return there.

Gently paced, great viewing. Had me transfixed as a child watching this and so much other great stuff - Chigley, Trumpton, Mr. Benn etc.

[@buzzabuzza3494]

This takes me back a long time ago,things were different then,no internet,no colour tv,Airfix models and boxes of soldiers,making our own bicycles from other bikes,wearing clothes that my dear mom had repaired,playing armies with a sticks of wood,power cuts and those candles mom kept for that reason,I could keep going on but i will always cherish those special and simple things in life i once had.

[@marekgregory4512]

This stuff really dose provoke memories and near tears of a previous life so gentle.

[@andrewlangridge8283]

Just heard the wonderful Brian cant has passed always. Such a huge part of my childhood. Pure innocence 😢

[@RogerBall1975]

When i watch these (Camberwick green, Trumpton and all the other amazing works of art that i grew up watching) i realise how soulless & empty the modern world is, i'd give my left nad to go back there.........................

[@garethmurtagh2814]

RIP Gordon Murray and thank you for all the memories 😢

[@plainjayne1981]

I agree

[@sugarbertie1143]

My word, this is magic to all of us growing up on the 60s and 70s. I can remember every word of the songs. A fabulous world of innocence watching with mum and dad, God bless them. ❤

[@martybennett1861]

Its really powerful how these images and music roll back the years , I will never forget the sound of windy millers windmill !

[@jasonfernee2401]

I have this tune as my morning wake up call. Very therapeutic and nostalgic for my youth.

[@Mr223P]

So innocent, so magical. I want to remember this and all it meant to me when it’s my time to move on....

[@lesleybeesley2067]

I think it all went wrong with big brother which spawned reality TV, and the internet - which although wonderful in many ways, has spawned the dissemination of so much greed and hatred. I'd go back in a heartbeat to what we didn't know then, was the land of lost content. Thank God for the technology which means I can look at that lost world again, and hear those simple tunes and remember, albeit with awful longing, what it was to live in a world without so much of the terrible things which blight it now.

[@rootsrockrebel3478]

RIP Brian Cant, the voice of childrens tv. happy sunny times

[@marklancaster6558]

Camberwick Green was my favourite programme as a child,. They just don't make them like this any more.

[@DaveDave65]

Priceless in my youth... timeless today. So glad I was a kid when I was :)

[@flashtheoriginal]

Gulp. I grew up with the animated majesty of Gordon Murray. I've got a lump in my throat. Timeless and magnificent, representing an age of wonder and innocence. No mobile phones, no reality TV doling out paternity tests, no twitter, no Anna Soubry. These were the days of 3 tv channels with no remote control, concorde, flared trousers, fish and chips for 50p, buses that were clean, cheap and frequent, nurses were well paid and respected, football teams didnt have sponsors on their shirts, Saturday morning pictures, birds-eye supermousse, The Golden Shot, morning assembly at school with English hymns, cycling proficiency tests, playing out in the fresh air with no fear being abducted or offered smack and yes.......marathon bars in the shops - not "snickers". Where the fuck did it all go wrong?

[@portcullis5622]

I was a child in the 1970s, and it was mostly wonderful. but to balance things, before we all reach for the rose-tinted spectacles, let us not overlook. . . Jimmy Savil, 'Love Thy Neighbour', Little Jimmy Osmond, paedophile priests and sports coaches who were beyond the law, psychopathic bullying teachers. . .

[@raymcdonald6734]

Sadly yes it’s all down the pan. Boys who think they are girls, girls who wanna be boys, or neither. Can’t get a g.p appointment for two months, trying to get rid sold cash so granny cant give little Bobby some pocket money 💰! Take me back to the days of Angel Delight and chocolate lovely pudding. Oh not forgetting there were actually Dinner Ladies in school!
