This song really speaks to me in a personal way. My dad's had several work trucks throughout the years, two of which he still has to this day, and we gave each one a name and a personality. It may sound silly, but I think that's part of what's kept them going all these years, despite a few hiccups along the way. Even Dad's employees usually take to calling the trucks by name within a few weeks of working with them. I can totally see this series being rebooted as an animated film, with a message that a little TLC can go a long way, no matter who or what it's for.
That's a really sweet story, and I like the idea about the animated film. Wishful thinking, but that message is still relevant in modern days. I wish you, your Dad and your Dad's trucks the best :)
I mean, looking back on this, the creators of this show must of realized that they conceptualized the first 3D printer, in the 80s-the 80s-of all things.
I onlu remember watching like 2 episodes of this as a kif though I can't remember anything from it. Despite that this song gives me great nostalgia :'>
Bertha lovely Bertha, you are lovely machine And anyone who works with you will know just what I mean. Whoa . . . Bertha lovely Bertha, sometimes I think you're a dream When we work out what you have to do You can always turn the goods out Always turn the goods out, we can depend upon you Clicking in the day, flashing in the night Your computer is shining brightly Some people say you've a mind of your own And I think that's very likely, likely. Oh... Bertha lovely Bertha, sometimes I think you're a dream When we work out what you have to do You can always turn the goods out. Always turn the goods out, we can depend upon you.
As an English ex-pat living in the USA I love showing my kids the old classics like this from my childhood. They love the songs, and go around humming them about the house. And that, my friends, is priceless. We can depend on you, Bertha ;)
@@nazcasteve I miss this show aswell. I miss the old BBC and ITV childrens programs Do you remember Family Ness, Art attack, The raggy dolls and my favourite Charlie Chalk?

Is it me, or did preschool shows of the day have better theme songs than any other? I would probably say this is one of the top 3 for best and catchiest of this category.
Oh memory lane, I love the theme and the tv series. I still have the tapes of this that I recorded all those years ago. It's hard to think that they only made 13 episodes of this show
Oh FANTASTIC!! Such a fun theme! I found myself singing this this the other day at work, and thought I'd look for it on UA-cam! Thank you for uploading!
Oh man, I haven't seen this show for ages. Used to really love it as a kid in the 80s. I believe this is the first time I've heard the theme song in English. I think it was dubbed in Finnish over here.
There are four things someone could think of whilst watching this: - Nostalgia from watching this in the 80s - Thinking this sounds like music from Thomas - The elevator to Hell from Eddsworld - Paul’s Vids’ Shed 17 prequel
Thanks for uploading this onto here. I've not got the soundtrack album but I've got this extended version of the theme tune on a cassette called Themes From Children's BBC. I copied it over to my Ipod and I've listened to it many times on the journey home from work/college in the evening.
So this was the song that played during the elevator scene in "Hello Hellhole" from Eddsworld. It's quite catchy. And apparently from reading other comments this was made by the same people who created Postman Pat and was suppose to be it's successor but ultimately that didn't happen bc PMP blew up clearly. I only wonder what it would be like if it was still airing to this day.
Fuck! This bought back some memories, just for a second I was 5 years old again sat with my grandad (sadly long gone now) watching kids telly in the afternoon on bbc1, back in the day of 3 channels!!!
Yeah it’s a good thing poor Thomas the tank engine fireman Sam bob the builder and postman pat didn’t make it because of the reboots. But Bertha charlie chalk Joshua Jones tugs Theodore tugboat roary the racing car and Toby’s travelling circus are the only survivors left........
For 3 days I have been whistling this tune with no idea what it was but familiar nontheless. I just twigged a few minutes ago that it was this and the memories came flooding back! Thanks for this! Wardy
What's more interesting is the fact that Bertha was written as a replacement for Postman Pat but PMP became so popular that they cancelled extending bertha to put all their resources into PMP
Soy mexicano y en la década de los años 90, con apenas 4 o 5 años de edad, veía esta miniserie en la tv. Hoy que encontré el soundtrack me llené de tanta nostalgia por aquellos años tan maravillosos de mi vida. Daría lo que fuera por regresar a ese tiempo. Bertha es un hermoso recuerdo sin duda alguna.
Paul's vids basically introduced me to the bertha cartoon but now I just like to pretend that his Bertha parody doesn't exist because I'm a big fan of the original show now
@@dissapointment. I know! I recognized the song when I first watched "Hello Hellhole", and I was surprised Edd knew about this show! It did work for those scenes, so Edd made a good choice.
Thanks for sharing. Great to hear the full version of this. I knew of an extended version of the theme tune, but didn't realise there was a full soundtrack album. If by any chance you're able to upload any of the other songs from it, I'd love to hear them. :)
Though this is something I noticed a lot, (especially with some of my favorite song artists), how come most British signers disguise their accents whenever they sing?
Ok just for the record I am 13 and of all things my parents raised me on was this kids at my school did not even know that the show was. Now I look back and say “those kids were pathetic” and I sometimes still watch the show for fun
Fuck this had me in tears!!! I am about to watch all of Bertha with my 4 year old nephew as I was obsessed with this when I was 4!!!!! Paw patrol is bullshit!!
I’m going to make sure that when I have my future child I’m going to make my future child watch Bertha because it’s has the best theme tune in the world and would make it the best television programme in the world to watch and it is also so much better and very well composed music too.

You can always turn the goods out.

This should've been a hit record!
Oh that would have been good.
Maybe it could've made the billboard top 100.
Probably the greatest kids theme tune of all time. I loved it. Great childhood memories
Oh my gosh I love this I miss it heaps, Bertha is my freaking jam it's so good!.
Is it me, or did preschool shows of the day have better theme songs than any other? I would probably say this is one of the top 3 for best and catchiest of this category.
especially thomas the tank engine and bob the builder
Especially British ones.
This never left my memory and had to find it tonight for some reaosn. So glad its online😃when people made proper songs for kids shows!!!
that is very likely
I think everyone's nostalgic, including me. This brings up good memories when I was a kid. I even bought the dvd for my kids!
Classic stuff from the days of Philip Schofield. I was 7 in 1985, remember this show well.
Surprisingly back in the old days kids shows had some pretty catchy themes.
Sounds similar to
al bowlly’s heartaches also known as “its just a burning memory”
Me too
true like in heartaches the music goes first then Al bowley just copys off
I think it's a remix of heartaches actually
Yeah.......wait what

*All I can see are 4 friends taking a elevator to hell*

YES EDDSWORLD! Hello hellhole
I love that episode

'So this is hell, what a sight'
Kids who saw this show and all its wonderfully diverse characters will never forget it. Such a joy to remember.
Amazing - heck of an earworm still 35+ years after I last watched it lol
This makes feel old!
Still lost none of its charm & it warms the heart in ways that words can't describe.
This song just comes to me randomly sometimes and it makes me smile :)
Awww thanks for this, I love Bertha - such a blast from the past!!
hmm that looks cool (watches an episode) THEY PREDICTED THE 3D PRINTER HOLY SHET
1983
In real terms, however, the origins of 3D printing can be traced back to 1986
1985 this show came out
the 3d printer is from 1983
This song rocks - I remember when Bertha originally aired as a kid in the 80's but didnt know they did a full length version of the theme tune.
Oh memory lane, I love the theme and the tv series. I still have the tapes of this that I recorded all those years ago. It's hard to think that they only made 13 episodes of this show
seriously only 13 episode I didn't know that, maybe i was watching the same episodes over and over as a kid
I never knew that Bertha only had 13 episodes.
Oh FANTASTIC!! Such a fun theme! I found myself singing this this the other day at work, and thought I'd look for it on UA-cam! Thank you for uploading!

This is great
The music has some Thomas the tank engine feels in it :)

Me too!

Thanks for uploading this onto here.
I've not got the soundtrack album but I've got this extended version of the theme tune on a cassette called Themes From Children's BBC. I copied it over to my Ipod and I've listened to it many times on the journey home from work/college in the evening.
This kinda reminds me of Over The Garden Wall.
And Edd had such good taste in music.
Arthur Kirkland So does Paul vids
he really did!!!
I don't know how it works but this song puts my child to sleep in 1 up to 3 Berthas. Thank you Bertha, you save my evenings!
Awww! Happy parenting! ☺️💗
rest in peace edd! you may be gone, but you're not forgotten. :)
respect for uploading this - this tune goes deep
everyones walking about how this theme relates in someway to something else, but i just think it sounds nice
strangely, Edd Gould's Hello Hellhole brought me here. He slowed it down, but he still put it in the 'elevator to hell' scene
+Ir Jacoby its weird isnt it?
Just like this show, edd is dead
Yeah, R.I.P
So this was the song that played during the elevator scene in "Hello Hellhole" from Eddsworld. It's quite catchy.

It's good that Bertha didn't fall into the CGI reboot trap which Postman Pat, Fireman Sam, and Bob the Builder all failed to avoid.
Yeah it’s a good thing poor Thomas the tank engine fireman Sam bob the builder and postman pat didn’t make it because of the reboots. But Bertha charlie chalk Joshua Jones tugs Theodore tugboat roary the racing car and Toby’s travelling circus are the only survivors left........
Still a shame it only got 13 episodes though. Even the stop motion years of those shows lasted way longer.

Man, nostalgia city.
But why is this song better then anything in the charts right now?
What else is new?
I found this the other night. Never seen the show before but this is a banger.
My childhood! Always wanted to work with bertha!
i used to watch it in PERU(south america)
