Trumpton - The Complete Collection [1967]

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.

I bought this DVD for my 20 month old and have not been disappointed. The colours are vibrant and the sound good, although I need the volume on my tv fairly high. Comes with extras which are short and not really worth bothering with. The only real criticism is the first episode is a bit wobbly probably due to a poor original copy, hence the reason I have given it 4 stars not 5. However, if you are looking for a bit of nostalgia, something to keep the little ones happy or even entertainment for the hubby, you can't go far wrong.

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.

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.

I brought this for my 3 year old daughter, who absolutely loves it! I would totally recommend it to anyone with toddlers and also parents who like to reminisce their childhood.
