Camberwick Green, Trumpton and Chigley
On this page - Camberwick characters that also appear in Trumpton.
Although it's also noteworthy because it's preceeded by the only direct "Camberwick" reference during the entire Trumpton series. When the Mayor tells Troop to ....
"Ring up the garage on the Camberwick Road,and ask Mr.Crockett if he would come to our assistance".
But that's all the significant Camberwick presence that there is in Trumpton.
As mentioned,any other interlopers are just padding really.
With most appearing in group scenes like the ones pictured immediately below ....
.... the Band Concert.
.... Or in fleeting individual appearances,like Paddy & Mary Murphy buying ice cream
.... Or Farmer Bell + cow watching the firemen go by
Both those last 2 from the same Mrs.Cobbit & the Ice Cream Man episode.
Quite a few Camberwick residents turn up throughout Trumpton.
But .... they're merely non-speaking bystanders
Just bodies to fill a scene.
The only exception is Mr.Crockett,the garage owner.
In the episode "Miss Lovelace & the Statue" ....
he turns up in the Market Square in his breakdown truck to tow away Mr.Clamp's lorry.
But it's still only a silent cameo,as he just hooks up and drives off.
Notable Camberwick absentees in Trumpton ?
Well,neither Windy nor any of the Pippin Fort-ers are ever seen in Trumpton .... even as bystanders.
Which is perhaps a slightly dangerous claim to make. Because,by definition,it's easy to miss a bystander.
And,whilst I have indeed watched a truely ridiculous amount of footage whilst putting this site together,you always wonder if some of it just becomes white noise after I while.
But,let's assume it's correct for now,and ponder how many people would get this trivia question right ....
Q. Which series did Windy Miller appear in ?
A. Camberwick Green and Chigley
Of course,it was admirable that they choose not to rely on all the Camberwick favourites.
And it's something you appreciate all the more when you watch Chigley.
Which had so many appearances from both Camberwick and Trumpton characters that I've decided not to bother listing them all on this page !
So we'll leave it there.
But if you want to delve deeper into how all sorts of items were reused in the filming of Trumptonshire, then check out the "oddballs" page
