For the Camberwick Green fans...

[julesjones]

I've just ordered the Trumptonshire trilogy boxed set of Camberwick Green/Trumpton/Chigley, on the grounds that it's not in stock at the moment but it's a good price at 13 quid, and should be back in stock soon. However, the three individual series DVDs *are* in stock at Amazon, and this week are four pounds each, as are the first Clangers DVD, and Ivor the Engine. (The price goes up and down between four and ten, I know not why, check before you buy.)

Trumptonshire : Trumpton / Chigley / Camberwick Green (Complete Collection Box Set)
Camberwick Green - The Complete Collection
Trumpton - The Complete Collection
Chigley - The Complete Collection

For the bewildered non-Brits reading this -- classic children's animation from the 60s and 70s, much loved by the age group that is the target demographic for Life On Mars. Which is why there is a Camberwick Green pastiche in one episode of LoM. :-)

Oh, oh, I may just have to order! :)

Thought that might interest certain segments of my flist. :-)

I already have the trilogy box set, plus The Clangers and Bagpuss. I don't have the Ivor the Engine ... but I do have the first DVD of Michael Bentine's Potty Time ... which was a terrible disappointment (sob, rose tinted glasses of nostalgia brutally smashed by the gestapo of reality)

[julesjones]

I'm hoping Trumpton will not be a terrible disappointment. But I'm intermittently watching the Clangers, and thoroughly enjoying them. Bagpuss was a bit hit and miss, but I think worth the fiver I spent on it.

We are currently sans TV, but sometime in the near future I'm going to sit down and work my way through a few of these to review them.

Do they do Noggin the Nog?

[julesjones]

The Smallfilms website says that it's available on DVD, but they don't provide a link, and I can't see it in Amazon.

Sendit has it available:

Incidentally, "Trumptonshire trilogy" sounds very grand. :)

Perhaps after I get round to ordering some Second Doctor DVDs...

OH MY GOD. i must get them ALL. And the Clangers. And Ivor.

Do they have Noggin the Nog? Bagpuss?

[julesjones]

I seem to have caused a run on Amazon's stock, because some of the things that *were* in stock this afternoon aren't any more...

They usually have Bagpuss, although Amazon is out of stock at present. Noggin the Nog is available -- see links in comments above.
