The stop-motion animation enlarged the world of Trumptonshire created by Gordon Murray, first seen the previous year in Camberwick Green.

On this day in Wyrd Britain history.
1969, #Chigley, the third of Gordon Murray's Trumptonshire Trilogy first aired. Perhaps the least regarded of the trio, but it does feature perhaps the most famous of all the songs that Freddie Phillips wrote for the three series.

It seems a curious example of "Synchronicity", at least. 😉
HMHB wrote another song dedicated to #Chigley -- a filk version of "Time Flies By" (at least, I think that's how one would class it) full of allusions to drugs -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlJK...
Here's an episode guide for #Trumpton, #Chigley, & #CamberwickGreen, BTW: www.trumpton3.com/EpisodeGuide...
Perhaps run it as a Ruritanian Romance?
Or an alternate timeline, in which the vibe is distinctly Edwardian (a bit like what Diana Wynne Jones did in Charmed Life)?

Youngest kiddo has discovered the #TrumptonshireTrilogy and, having watched #CamberwickGreen, is now enjoying #Trumpton, before we round it all off with #Chigley. 😍
Some #Chigley this morning.
