Trumpto, Chigley & Cambellwickgreen

[david niven]

Trumpto, Chigley & Cambellwickgreen [sorry if I've mis-spelt those] were all neighbours to one another if I remember right. But was one a town & aimed at older children with another being a village aimed at younger children & so on?

I'm not aware of there being any difference in the intended age range - I think the change of setting was more to do with Gordon Murray feeling he'd exhausted the old settings. For the record, the first series was "Camberwick Green", set in a country village; followed by "Trumpton", the county town with its famous clock and fire brigade; then finally Chigley, in a "light industrial" setting with its biscuit factory, docks and steam railway. There were 13 episodes of each.

I remember in Chigley, everyone had to assemble at this place and have a dance before they went home for their tea.

As Jenstar says, CG came out first, the main character for that episode appearing out of a music box. Trumpton was second and started with the Town Hall clock striking 9. Chigley was last and I am sure it was billed as 'Chigley, near Camberwick Green in Trumptonshire'.

Just thought, Trumpton was most famous for the fire brigade (Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb) that were called out every episode, but never to a fire; except once when Capt. Flack answered the phone with "A fire! A real fire! Oh well a bonfire. Well it might get out of control!!"
