- This is one of my favourite series of Trumptonshire - Chigley. This scene is where the song sang "Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train" where Lord Belborough and his Butler, Brackett drive Bessie the old railway steam engine down the line!
Hope u enjoy the vid!!! ^_^
Rest in Peace, Brian Cant (12th July 1933 - 19th June 2017)
(NOTE: I do not own this video!)
Here's the lyric of this song:
Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train
And I ride on the footplate there and back again
Under bridges over bridges to our destination
Puffing through the countryside there's so much to be seen.
Passengers waving as we steam through a station.
Stoke up fireman for the signal is at green.
Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train
And I ride on the footplate there and back again
In the cutting, through the tunnel,
Rushing clanking on the track.
Wheezing pistons, smoking funnels,
Turning wheels go clickety clack.
Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train
And I ride on the footplate there and back again.

This tune and Brian Cant's voice.....just makes me want to curl up on the sofa, with Mr Bear and a cup of hot milk, Mum's voice drifting through from the kitchen....rain pattering on the window, warm and safe, not a care in the world, about five years old. Why do we have to grow up.
True
Ditto
Getting old: It's a con....
@James Hodson #metoo
Absolutely 🥰
Gordon Murray, Oliver Postgate and Gerry Anderson created a TV landscape for children that will never be matched. So glad I grew up in the 60s & 70s.
Agree. I'm 56 this year. A child of the 70s.
I played guitar on this track. Brian Cant is a lovely bloke!
Wonderful memories of a great man eh
@@jimmyjammer Indeed, he was. The other great thing was that if you named any song, he could sing it!
I thought Freddy Phillips did all the guitar music on all series. It brings back innocent memories.
@@AndyG13GLA He did! He probably did on Trumpton & Camberwick Green, too! Brian Cant was a still a lovely bloke. Didn't know either, but would have liked too!
Brilliant. What a wonderful thing to able to say.
It’s amazing how all the words come back to you having not heard this for 50 odd years 😅
Ha ha. I'm 42 and I still can't help but say 'when you're the driver of a train' when someone says 'time flies by'. Brilliant!
I could never get through that George Ezra song without drifting into this.
You think that's bad I am 33 and I am a volunteer on a narrow gauge railway and everytime I get to drive one of the locos this song pops in to my head
59 and and still makes me smile
Rest in Peace Brian Cant ♥ You gave me so many lovely childhood memories
Uberlaser me too ❤️
Oh my I'm so sad. His son Richard is his double. Check him out in midsummer murders.
Love from Elle x
Such happy memories ♥️
I met Brian Cant when I was about 10 at some hotel in Norfolk my dad's mate used to own. He was exactly the same lovely bloke you saw on the telly. Silly and fun.
British Childrens TV in the 70's was a wonder
Still able to remember every word at 63
This is my childhood. I grew up in the 90s watching and falling in love with it. I can still lose myself in this world of Chigley, Trumpton and Camberwick Green. All brilliant. I think they should start reshowing these to get a new generation to fall in love with it. xxx
Well. Here I am August 12th 2022! Our ice cream man plays a tune similar to this and I’ve been singing it for weeks. I remembered every word too! Im 68! Hi from Leeds. 😀
RIP Brian Cant . Memories of the best bits of my childhood seem to have his voice as the background.
For anyone who was a kid in the late 60s and 70s this has a lot of meaning. I"m glad I was one of them.
I’m 54 going on 5.. happy days
@@althomas3168 22 here but raised on old programmes like this. So glad I was. Same emotions watching this after at least fifteen years 😊
I'm 16. My parents brought me this dvd along with Trumpton and Camberwick Green and I was hooked onto that show. People say it's a show for elders but in fact it's for any generation and parents or grandparents I feel are able to share this to their young kids. I was only 3 when I thought out about this and this day I love this show
Brian Cant - legend. Glorious childhood memories of that great mans narrating voice and Play School and Playaway too.
i loved watching this when i was a younger
Etched in my childhood memory, and adult memory too. 😊
The bit that always got me when I was a kid was the part before this, where the phone rang at the Hall, and the Butler answered it. You always knew they'd soon be going out on the train, which was always my favourite bit. Happy, happy days. Brian Cant should be knighted.
Always ended up at Treddles warf ?
Old ones are the best.
Always will be.
life seemed so simple then..... kids today dont know what they are missing
Wow I just found this and its blown my mind. And I'm I'm 50 next month. It's now 11/3/2021....
It doesnt get much better than this. This clip represents such a happy childhood of watching wonderful shows like these. They look as good now as ever and those songs just make you smile.

Wow! I've had this tune in my head for forty odd years!!
half man half biscuit did an indie version ua-cam.com/video/bpx7uM-5Y3Q/v-deo.html
My childhood right here R.I.P Brian
I’m 15 but I watched this as kid and it’s so nostalgic to me even tho is such an old program
Nice! I first came across and watched this kind of program when I was around your age 12 years ago. Still it's animation and styling is quite appealing, unique and inspiring to me!
omg yes! I love shows. I don't remember much of the shows but I do remember this particular song quite well - I'll admit I've been listening too it all day today. I forgot a bit what they were like but watching this brings back so many memories although it is weird having the same childhood memories as 40 year olds and then all my friends don't know what this is haha.
Yeah me too, I have pretty much all of these on video
A Colleague and I are the same age (he is a month older) and we sing this whenever we see each other as he reminds me of Lord Belborough by the way he walks. It causes a few strange looks but soon all who are of the same age will automatically join in... I wonder how many other children programs will be looked back on after 40 yrs which such fond memories.
The man deserves a knighthood. Absolute legend. I will never forget the wonderful worlds he created. RIP Brian Cant
I drive trains too for freightliner......chigley...you sugar coated the job!!!
Still, very happy memories of this from when i was a nipper.
Brian Cant's lovely singig voice. So pure and unaffected.
Oh to be that carefree ever again. Happy days. Love you.
My childhood has returned
RIP Brian Cant and Gordon Murray. Thanks for the memories.
oh such warm memories. The children of today don't know what they're missing out on.
brings back a lot of memories,a golden age of kids tv
Great little Songs & excellent animation. & the Steam Train's Cottonwool Smoke !!! 🥰
I have many happy memories of Trumpton, Chigley and Camberwick Green
I loved watching this show when I was young and still do today listening to this timeless song 🎵 brings back childhood memories 👍❤️🚂🥲
This is one of the most underrated jamz ever!
One word for this series: MONUMENTAL
RIP Brian Cant. A true legend.
Wow, what a blast from the past. Superb trip down memory lane. Thanks
The Trouble with Trains 2 brought me here! Also, R.I.P. Brian Cant (1933-2017) You are a childhood legend.
Just magical, that guitar line brings back wonderful, warm, chidhood memories, mny thanks for uploading
Rest in peace Brian Cant
RIP Brian Cant. Thanks for this great little song. My childhood wouldn't have been the same without your constant presence on kids telly.
The TV voice of my infancy! So many of my kids' programs featured the wonderful Brian Cant. Today is the 5/32021 and I've sadly just heard of the demise of Mr Cant. Thankfully he will always be remembered and be with us thanks to people who upload these Televisual treats that I can share with my great-grandchildren. Rest in peace, Mr Cant. 🙏📿🤲
Wow, the year 32021? What's the future like? Are we still gripped by a pandemic?
A nearly forgotten innocence. How do we get back there?
TurboJuk bought me here!! 🚂🚃🚃🚃
RIP Brian Cant, who died 2017-06-19, aged 83.
Great days back in the 70's...
Brian Cant for a knighthood!!!! He's a genius and has made millions of children happy and given many adults happy memories of childhood. Me for one.
Thanks Brian!
Love this . Brian cant childhood hero.
Wow, I'm 43 and I still know the words to this - dont ask me how! life was so much simpler as a little kid!.
Now you do be 51.
my god that hasn't aged well but it certainly brought back my childhood! Trumpton and Ivor the Engine were two of my faves as a kid!
My very happy childhood right there
As a wee lad I loved trains and I still do. I used to love this song as well.
Ah memories of my childhood come flooding back! I watched these for the first time in 1996, and i still love them today! Trumpton rocks! OFFICIAL!
Thankyou Yanamation, you rock in infinate ways :D xxx
Wow.
Amazing how fresh this still is in my memory. I remembered the tune but not the images.
Thanks a million Yanamation :-)
R.I.P. Brian Cant :-(
Why don’t the BBC bring TV programmes back like this so that young children today will be able to have the splendid memories that folk comment on today in 2024???
there will be something wrong with it that anyone born before 1970 will be oblivious to unfortunately
Goodbye Brian Cant and thank you. One of the good guys. Thank heavens the BBC retained Camberwick Green, Trumpton and Chigley in their archive for children of all ages to enjoy forever.
i used to watch this so much, sadly it was rarely on..
just joined this internet lark and its sites like this makes all the troubles in this world vanish thankyou
Time flies by... George Ezra shotgun may have been a trumpton fan
i loved this. afternoon show.
WOW!! THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD I LIKE THIS SONG.
Ahh, magical. Great memories, thanks for uploading!
I know exactly what you mean....Watch With Mother, the simplicity of the 70s. A coal fire and a hot chocolate
RIP Brian Cant.
I found this video by a live stream that also included the quote "Time flies by when im the driver of a train and i ride o- AWW I FELL OF IT!" Angry welshman productions led me to this XD
Life seemed so innocent back in those days. Mint
It's amazing that of the three (Trumpton and Camberwick Green being the other two) hardly anyone I mention it to remembers Chigley in regards to it as a series or its name.
Forty five years on, I find it difficult to remember which characters lived in the three towns. I know it was the Trumpton Fire Brigade and the Mayor was in Trumpton but was Pippin Fort in Chigley or Camberwick Green? Windy Miller, I think was Camberwick Green, but what about Chippy Minton? I am guessing Chigley, but I am not sure. Since Cameron and May's Tory governments relaxed the planning laws, I bet the three small towns are just one big conurbation by now, without a green field between them. I bet they are all threatened by hydro-fracking as well. Sigh, they do not make rose-tinted glasses like they used to!
Proper kids TV. Lovely guitar too.
Rest in peace Brian cant
Just found out about the death of Brian Cant. He played such an important part in my generation's childhood, I'm surprised he never received an OBE like many others.
As a youngster, I was always fascinated by the puffy clouds of smoke regularly coming out of it's chimney top- bt thought the steam engine sounds were a bit over the top. Great tune tho.
My dad was right to introduce me to trumpton it’s so good!
My dad used to sing this to me when i was little - thanks!
thanks Brian Cant for being part of my childhood

It was a very good spoof version

Made a GIF from this & some from Trumpton & Camberwick Green too .. great memories. GIFS on FB & twitter
Came back 2022 anyone? 😍
If it's not been said Half-man, half biscuit..
Memories 😊
Closing shot - man in crane cab secretly fiddling with himself.
How marvellous! Many thanks for uploading this!
I used to sing "Time flies by when your the driver of a plane"... oh the memories.
PREACHER!!!
Trumpton, Chigley, Camberwick Green. All wonderful reminders of a more innocent time Ah, if only we could go back!
Why do you pot heads always try to ruin such great memories?
These are good programmes with no bad language. Far more should be made of them, maybe then the world could be a friendlier place!
Jeez.....remember watching this as a nipper back in the late 60's. Must be getting old..... :-(
The Trouble with Trains II...
This song always comes to mind whenever im on the footplate.
I'm 53 and I still know the words :-D
I'm 73 and so do I, having sat with my daughter to watch his programmes
Brain Cant=legend!
#Careful with that spliff Eugene it causes condensation!# :)
Under bridges over bridges
To our destination
Careful with that spliff Eugene
It causes condensation
🤣
Time flies by when you’re a driver of a train.
Speeding out of trumpton with the cargo of cocaine
Cool. I've never seen the show.
