Each episode of Trumpton would begin with the announcement:

"Here is the clock, the Trumpton clock. Telling the time steadily, sensibly, never too quickly, never too slowly. Telling the time for Trumpton."

The clock tower would then do its stuff, and with the clock showing nine o'clock, some of the townspeople would begin their daily business: Mr Clamp showing off his fine display of vegetables, and Mrs Cobbit arriving with her flowers.

Then the day's events would unfold with the arrival of perhaps Chippy Minton in his truck, or perhaps Mr Troop the town clerk.

Trumpton was the main town in the county of Trumptonshire. It had a town hall, with a clock tower, numerous shops, and a fine market square in the middle of which stood a statue of Queen Victoria. The town also had a rather nice park with a bandstand, and it was at this bandstand that the Trumpton fire brigade would play us out at the end of each episode, while the people from Trumpton and nearby areas listened and watched.

The characters of Trumptonshire obviously created a strong impression on the young television viewers of the time, and today, most British adults of around 30 years of age will look back with fond memories at Windy Miller, the Trumpton Fire Brigade, and the little steam engine, and yet many will be confused as to which characters belonged to which programme. This is probably due to the similarity in the three series - Trumpton, Chigley and Camberwick Green, and the fact that the characters from one series would often appear in another.

Though the buildings were unfeasibly small - particularly the upper floors, and the characters appeared to wear heavy boots the Trumptonshire trilogy is undoubtedly a classic in children's television programmes.

So what makes the programmes so memorable?

Probably a variety of reasons: the plots were simple to follow without being silly. The settings were pleasant and brightly coloured. The Trumptonshire characters were meant to be real people with everyday problems. None of the characters had magical powers, so when Mr Carraway's truck broke down Mr Crockett had to tow it to his garage.

Freddie Phillip's songs and music were very important to the programmes. Virtually every character had his or her own song, identifying the character and his/her occupation. In fact, the characters' occupations were a central theme to the series - most of the jobs being practical in nature eg. postman, window cleaner, doctor, various shopkeepers, butler, farmer. Service industries were not well supported. Where was the accountant ? It could be said that the Trumptonshire programmes were all about the jobs people did.

There was a susprising lack of young children - Paddy and Mary Murphy Baby Honeyman in Camberwick Green, Winnie at the Chigley Pottery and no children at all in Trumpton.

SAFE SHOPPING

How in the world does one come up with a different idea for a birthday gift. For Birthdays or a Wedding Anniversary, the answer could be the certificates that celebrate the events of that particular day. Gifts for Christmas are a different matter, even more difficult. But we have the answers. Hand puppets, balance toys, bar globes, novelty clocks, wooden toys, musical boxes, cuckoo clocks are amongst the most popular. Looking for collectables, then we have Camberwick Green, Trumpton, The Herbs and Magic Roundabout figurines. Cuckoo clocks could be a house warming present. The Freddie Mercury statue, Doctor Who memorabilia, a balance toy, as an idea for birthdays.
