Format:DVD
I bought this for my two-year-old son who turned out to love it - even more than Fireman Sam. We regularly watch it together as a family. His favourite character is the fireman Cuthbert. The narration by Brian Cant is as spellbinding as the music and the characters of the small town such as the flower seller and the carpenter. Of course the highlight each episode is when Captain Flack gets the emergency call at the fire station and his roll call of his fire officers... Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub.

My boys love this, and the other two out of the series. I think part of the appeal is that this is all so new to them. Simple stories and well told, top marks.

Partially out of nostalgia and partially because I reckoned my 2 year old son would enjoy it, I ordered the DVD of Trumpton. Ironically, the aspects which I find annoying as an adult such as the large fraction of each episode which rely on stock shots (opening sequence, fireman and band scene) probably provides my son with a degree of stability and repetition absent in other children's programmes.
Moreover Freddie Philips superb rythmic guitar/percussion coupled with Brian Cant's baritone songs really provide a musical pace and a sense of timing.
Probably not for all children, but for those adults looking for something more soothing than today's high graphic/high volume alternatives.

Trumpton is just as magical for my grandchildren as it was for my children and my nieces. An instant favourite along with Camberwick Green and Bagpuss

Still good for young & old.
My 6 year old son and me both, enjoyed this DVD from the year I was born. I was so pleased my son enjoyed it even though it was from 'my era'.

Not a top conversion from 1967 tv show it's wobbly at the start of the dvd .

Fun for Charlotte, nostalgic for me
My two year old daughter Charlotte loves these stories. I'm enjoying reliving my childhood.
These programmes are a bit dated now- and all the better for that. Read more
