I loved Camberwick Green, Trumpton and Chigley when I was knee high.
Gordon Murray's fabulous puppet trilogy.

Trouble is I can't remember which is which. Its a bit like Sago, Tapioca and Semolina for me!
As a reminder here's the iconic clown turning end credits of Camberwick Green on You Tube:
I don't think I had any toys. Maybe a Windy Miller soap.
Being a huge fan of plastic TV vehicles as well I was thrilled to see this superb Camberwick Green Farmer bell Tipper truck on Ebay. It was made by Marx. I saved the photos for my archive.
I'm pretty sure I never had a toy like this although I did have a truck full of plastoc milk bottles, which I've yet to visualise properly.
This Marx truck looks great though.
Did you have any toys or merchandising from Camberwick Green, Trumpton or Chigley?
Did you like the shows?
I wonder if Gerry Anderson ever met Gordon Murray?

I had (and still have) the battery operated tin toy vintage car that was used as Doctor Mopp's car.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of Gordon Murray's shows, Woodsy. They're endearing! Over the years I've gathered together a full set of the Marx Camberwick Green Twistables (figures) from the 60s. I'll take some pics and send them in. I love 'em. There are few familiar friendly faces you'll probably remember :)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see those, I plan to make some more of the characters this year.
ReplyDeletePics just sent to Woodsy. Hope they're of use, Kevin :)
