Introduction

These were 3 seperate,but inter-connected,animated BBC tv series designed for pre-school children.

First broadcast in the Beeb's famous "Watch With Mother" lunchtime slot between 1966 and 1969,still being shown on NickleOdeon and now digitally restored and available on both dvd and Blu Ray.

Each series title was a seperate location within the fictional English county of Trumptonshire.

There were no talking animals,mythical beings or magical forces at work here.Just normal people going about their normal,everyday business.

But never mundane,as each 15 minute episode threw up a new mini crisis,which was always met head-on with a cheerful "can do" attitude and frequent bouts of song

A world that benefited greatly from the 3D reality of actual models & sets and the life-giving powers of stop motion animation.And one that's kept millions of kids happy over the years,whilst achieving a

lasting place in many an adult subconscious.With characters like Windy Miller and the Trumpton Firemen now enjoying cult status.

Amazing really.

And this site is a celebration of their impact -both then and now

A chance to relive some memories and to sort your Pugh's from your Barney McGrew's.

And if it raises the odd smile along the way then so much the better.
