Trumpton opening titles

Life was so much simple back then. No cell phones. No Facebook. No social media. I woke up went to school. Came back home played outside. What a simple life.

God the memories this rekindles takes me back to a place where I was the happiest kid in the world, wish I could go back there even for a day.

[@grahampalmer9337]

Oh! Do I just know where you mean. But for me it will be forever that Glockenspiel & the musical box... To be 4 or 5 again! All your problems are little problems. All your days filled with play & joy. - Alas it also brings to mind an A E Houseman poem about "forgotten hills" I'm afraid. 😕

Brian Cant, the narrator of this was the most iconic children’s presenter to me and even my own children ( Dappledown farm... 90s) If I could turn back the clock I would walk into a wonderful family home, where me and my sister were loved unconditionally.....oh my, I wish I could, don’t we all?......I hope you all had a childhood like ours xxx God bless my Ma and pa ❤️❤️

[@flump1fy]

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

[@pj1909]

You are beautiful ❤️

[@thedude1-wn2ij]

I have to do the same every now and again 😁

Thanks Mum and Dad. I had a great childhood. I'll try to hand it on.

[@mightywubo]

Gordon Murray Rest in Peace...never knew you but I thank you for your creations and the happiness you brought to so many children.

[@juleswombat5309]

He was also brilliant at designing Formula one cars.

[@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.

[@leighsaunderson9203]

School holidays , or being off-sick from school. Legendary, R.I.P Mr Cant.

Gordon Murray 1921-2016 Thank you and Rest in Peace

[@Ozymandi_as]

Wow. That was an innings. I imagine he was a very happy man.

[@gazzaphil]

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

[@sailorhms]

Funny how I get a tear in my eye when I watch this...

[@miketravis6149]

I know what you mean my friend. If we could turn back the clock what changes would we make. I have a good few ideas. Shame we have to grow old........

[@garyslater1243]

Me too .......... the opening credits took me back almost 50 years !!

[@scottydogheaven8606]

Childhood was epic in the seventies. Missing Primary school and lying on the couch with a Lemsip watching Trumpton, Paperplay and the morning run of Play School trying to wish that today's window would be the arched one. Life was not simpler but we actually had an enviable childhood. Outside on a space hopper, rolling Action Man's armored car down the garden, and watching as Evel Knievel's stunt bike jumped your mum's flower bed while your sister borrowed your action man talking commander to go camping with her Sindy doll in her yellow beach buggy *the one I used to borrow from time to time so that Action Man had an off road vehicle. Bless Trumpton, Magic Roundabout, Rupert, Mary, Mungo and Midge, the Wombles, Mr Ben, The Flumps (shit , I could go on forever) but bless the fact that I had a childhood filled with such vivid memories and could disappear for hours outside without anyone freaking out, Unfortunately, todays kids will never have such memories, just phone aps :(

[@geoffreyjonathanwilson5826]

Me too Alan,nowt wrong with that.

[@leeosborne3793]

Yup. Every. Single. Time. :)

[@HOOKA341]

No one can deny it’s genuinely very touching to see so many grown ups wishing they could return to the simple trumpton days even if for a day…Says a hell of a lot about how simple things were and more importantly that people most definitely felt happier and safer in other words they were at ease

[@Sheepsville]

Thank you for this lovely piece of my very early childhood. How nostalgic it was to see this again, it nearly brought a tear to my eye...Fantastic!

[@stestewart1119]

This is my childhood right here ❤ and time flies ....and the Herbs lol got them all on VHS 👍

[@ATVmidlands5581]

truly beautiful to watch again. quality childrens tv from the beeb. how i loved this as a child. thank you

[@tinytechs482]

I will join the band of comments that make me remember, with a tear in my eye. 1970s England, I wouldn't even know my age ... but I was under 10. Not had a kiss, a dance or anything much.... life was full of experiences and fun. 50 now, happily married, living in Ireland 2 ace young kids, reliving my childhood through them....life has been GOOD !! BUT I would love to go back, just for the day, cuddle mum n dad, say thank you, take them down the Brickmakers Arms for a night on the fizz. I never got the chance

[@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 :)

[@frazerguest2864]

40 years ago now mate.

[@sevensorrows2595]

Trumpton, Chigley and Camberwick Green were all released on dvd some time ago. I snapped mine up! ☺️

[@bushmistress]

Pure nostalgia. Still mesmarised by that clock, as I originally was. Trumpton and Camberwick Green were probably the most memorable. Brian Cant was so cool way back in the early-mid 70s with Playschool, Playaway ... others, can anyone remember?

[@Ozymandi_as]

Children would surely be calmer and better behaved if this was still widely available to them! Not to mention more nicely spoken. Across Trumpton, Chigley and Camberwick Green, we were given our first and most important lessons in civics. It was a kinder, more orderly and less intimidating world. I could weep for our lost innocence!

[@SuperTed19021]

Happy 48th anniversary to Trumpton and Happy 49th anniversary to Camberwick Green! Both aired on BBC1 on January 3rd in 1966 and 1967 respectively. Today is 3rd Jan 2015.

Great Scott! This takes me back to my formative years in the 1970s. I remember Brian Cant as well - doyen of Playaway too.

[@alexstannard3848]

always makes me smile, such innocence

[@RichXbox360]

Indeed! One of THE best children;s TV shows the BBC ever broadcast IMO, followed by the rest of the "Trumptonshire" trilogy including Camberwick Green and Chigley. Oh yeah, Chigley! I wanted to work in a biscuit factory when I grew up in those days.

[@Ampex196]

The legendary Brian Cant (OOV). Thank you for sharing! Toni Arthur and Carol Chell were great children's tv presenters too!

[@RoyStantz]

It's good that Trumpton didn't fall into the CGI reboot trap which Postman Pat, Fireman Sam, and Bob the Builder all failed to avoid.

[@richallenxbox1976]

Trumpton wouldn't be the same in CGI, and would lose the "charm" of the original puppets. Like in 2005 when they did that naff CGI remake of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, none of the charm of the 60s original.

[@RoyStantz]

[@benjaminclasper9355]

I’ve always liked the three notes at the beginning it’s just strangely always recognisable.

[@vorlonspy]

It was a callback to Listen (then Watch) with Mother, and conditioned a generation or two to put down whatever they were fiddling with and pay attention, because the programme was about to start.

Just like modern firemen then. they helps cats from trees, cars from flood, fat people from their houses. but very very rarely put out fires!

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!

[@richallenxbox1976]
