Jun 12: Trumptonshire... stop motion animation
The announcement of the death of Gordon Murray in 2016 triggered some nostalgia, and led me to hunt out my DVD box set of the three series that I remember watching in the late 1960s....
Camberwick Green
Trumpton
Chigley

which Murray created.
They were based on an idea of nostalgic 'middle England', and featured a range of characters including the famous fire crew, Windy Miller, and the workers of a biscuit factory. There was the classic voice of the late Brian Cant, and some excellent music.
The music, which brings back so many memories of my childhood is featured below...
BBC Front Row featured some memories from Phill Jupitus.
Perhaps there is scope for a resource on the Geography of Trumptonshire, which might also include reference to Radiohead's video for 'Burn the Witch'.
