Without wanting to delve too deeply into the box marked 'British children's TV of the 1960s and 70s nostalgia' today's theme will be well known to those of us who grew up in that period. Trumpton began in 1967 and each episode opened with this...
A lovely little piece of music regardless of the Proustian rush currently hitting home hard, released on the 1971 album Songs From Chigley And Trumpton, music by Freddie Phillips and narration by Brian Cant.
It would be remiss of me to mention Trumpton without posting this 1986 classic, Brian Cant getting named checked as part of the establishment that Nigel Blackwell is hoping the people of Chigley and Trumpton will overthrow- 'We've had Cant conformism since 1966/ And now subversion's in the air in the shape of flying bricks'.
