This channel is how I learned the Brum I grew up with was the newest reboot (2001). We learning Brum lore today.
I love Brum so much. He will always have a special place in my heart 🥰
I agree!
Wow lightning Macqueen
@@Ryleyandfriends292Yeah it's one of the best ragdoll productions shows next to in the night garden rosie and jim and teletubbies
Brum was my hero...
And still is.
PredaPrime so is mine
Same
I used to watch Brum, at my bourding school back in 1994, the reason being that my school was a special one for kids with Autism (I have Aspergers) and yes I did also go to mainstream as well, where some of the other kids were somewhat 'less able' thus we would also watch the more 'younger shows' (as I used to call programs made for toddlers and babies) which the teachers would tape for them, and I think that we did have one or two of the VHS tapes as well (can't remember which ones though).
As it stands I actually quite liked 'Brum' (yes me and my friends, who were on the 'more able' end of the spectrum did make the playground joke about his name...) and to this very day I remember the show fondly, not only as a show but also as a part of a very happy time in my life.
As a long term Whovian (I go back as far as 1997!) is it just me or does Brum look a lot like a pint sized 'Bessie'???
How old are u👁👄👁
I go to a school for the handicapped where I stay during the week. In middle school I found this gem in our dvd box. (I'm from 2005)
he does look like a pint sized bessie but the headlights for eyes remind me of coraline from thomas and friends
Awesome Behind The Scenes Look About Brum The Original Series. Thanks Mate. X
1991/1994: "It was Brum's day for exploring the big town..."
2001-2002: "Shh... Brum's off to the big town... *_...B R U M!!!!!!"_*
Man, what a difference ten years makes, huh?
That's perfect history about Brum, good job :)
I love brum
BRUM when he catches the big town robbers:
Ya daft eejit’s!
Great vid. This brings me back to my early childhood, the end almost brought a tear to my eye with the kick-a** credit song. I will never forget the little yellow car that brought me happiness when I was a child.
Brum and the Helicopter (the season 2 premiere episode) was the first episode of Brum I saw as a toddler. Even I was astonished and amazed at the scene of Brum being lifted into the air by a helicopter - no CGI, all completely done in live-action!
Also season 3 to 5 are legendary, they made him quite a bit more expressive.
As a kid I only saw the 2001-2002 series on dvd on the US.
I was initially excited for the cgi, but I releasied it wasn't like the live action ones. Ill have to check out some older 90's ones.
I mostly saw the 2001-02 series on TV.
Me too. I actually prefer it, but I don’t blame anyone who claims the previous seasons to be better
same
For me, when it comes to Brum, I was for the most part someone who watched the three seasons that aired in the early 2000's, but I have also seen a few episodes of the first two ones with Toyah Willcox's narration. I honestly just accept those two sides of the series as different takes on the concept - the first two seasons being a simple one about Brum going around the Big Town taking part in some of the mundane and regular activities that the citizens do, while the later three being a fast-paced superhero comedy series where Brum goes around trying to stop the criminals and being a badass while going after them. I will definitely say that I'm not into the CGI reboot; it feels too safe and overly saccharine.
But I can agree with everyone that the song "Brum, Brum Gets Things Done" is unquestionably the best thing to come out of the later three seasons; no denying how awesome it is. As I don't fully recognise what some people have against those seasons, feel free to explain why below.
I mean, there were some things with the 2000s series, that felt like it really just jumped the shark multiple times. And there were also some things that kind of rubbed people the wrong way (even myself included).
The 90s one had a bit more of a wholesome and warming aspect, that I guess made it more timeless by comparison.
Perhaps if they did some revival that was like a perfect blend of both aspects, and basically knew when to slow down and reel things in a bit, compared to the 2000s series that kind of felt like it didn't know when to stop, then maybe it'd probably fare better.
Like, it can have some of its action regarding the local criminals, or something going wrong, in around half or so of its episodes (just without any major jump the shark moments), and the rest having that more laid back, slice of life aspect that went on in the 90s series.
Possibly with even a few twists or spins to those formulas, like a more fast-paced action type of slice of life episode, revolving around a race/competition, and a more slower-paced, suspenceful or even slighty darker criminal episode, like Brum assisting a detective with solving a crime, or even an episode where Brum has to stop a mad bomber from causing chaos around town.
Though, with that last one about the mad bomber, and how that's still a touchy subject these days, considering stuff like the Taliban and all that, I'd imagine the criminal essentially rigging contraptions akin to what Kevin from Home Alone would slap together, and having those bombs be stink bombs as powerful as the "El Mondo stink bomb" from Ed, Edd n Eddy.
I grew up with brum as well as my big sister I will always love you brum
Crazy to think that Brum aired for the first time over 30 Years ago today!
#30YearsOfBrum
I grew up watching Brum in the early 2000's and I thought it was phenomenal as a kid! Brum is my absolute favorite childhood TV show I love to watch! 😊😊😁😁😁
The creator of the Brum (radio controlled) car passed away a few years ago; Rex Garrod.
That Brum theme tune is still a banger
*this show made me happy and happy when I saw it as a kid*
_and same as that tractor that was grey and had a face lime bruh!_
This show is still amazing
Fanatstic video Adam Martyn and I do love Brum and it was RIP for and very long long time ago on my VHS from Ragdoll and BBC and i was a babyish! :)
i very much doubt that Brum will return as his creator Rex Garrod was laid to rest a few days ago
They can still use the model though.
Buzzy Trombone if they haven’t done anything shity with it
Red crewmate it’s in the motor museum in the Cotswolds
I'm 38 & remember burm so well as a kid! Living near Birmingham went to wheels! It looks terrible now closed! Brum hosted f1 cars 2 the city & life was so much better back then!!!!
I remembered this on ABC2 here in Australia and I loved it
I had an unhealthy obsession over Brum. I remember the 2001 series more, but I do rememmber some episodes of the 1991 and 1994 versions.
I remember me and my siblings running up to the tv and slapping our hands on the screen when the ‘brum’ text came on screen so we could cover the R, and shout ‘BUM’
I used to watch Brum Season 3, a lot as a kid.
Honestly, knowing that previous seasons had a narrator makes me glad I grew up with season 3 because that would have been dumb.
I love this show
I love the song Brum Brum gets things done.
I met Brum in the museum, great little fella :D
And the guy in the overalls in the opening credits actually worked at the Bourton on the Water museum too, where I met him when I was a youngster, although I'd guess he is probably retired now 30 years after they first filmed him.
sadly the creator of bum rex garaad is no long with us he created Brum, k-9 and robot wars legend Cassuis
I am very familiar with all those locations and even work in one of them. Fascinating to be reminded of the changes happening in Birmingham, right now.
i just found this show today, and im happy i did.
I remember Brum on CBeebies in 2003-2005!!! Same with Tots TV in 2004-2008!!! I’ve seen every episode of both (although the series of Brum was the Early 2000s series with the “Well Done Brum!” End Credits!!) here’s a fact about it Andrew Davenport was one of the Robbers!
I watching it as a kid this is so nostalgic but the eyes kind of creeped me out
Whenever Brum my looks at people The eyes give it a death stare
I recalled Brum, but didn’t remember watching it, so I was watching this without feelings of nostalgia.
Then 12:02 happened and I thought HOW COULD I FORGET THIS!?
I remember having a toy version of Brum
Oh gosh, this show… ❤️
I feel like i remember this video, it may have been the first of yours i watched! :)
I loved that " Brum, Brum gets things done " song! Now I know where some of that was ahem Brindley place and opposite the Symphony Hall and Sealife Centre
Considering Brum's designer was Robot Wars contestant Rex Garrod, imagine if they did a crossover episode where Brum and Garrod's other iconic creation Cassius went on an adventure.
6:54 me like oh no what song is he gonna play *starts doing the nae nae*
Brum gave me memories when it aired on CBeebies back in the 2000s, and so does Teletubbies and Tweenies.
I like the Police Officers from Brum. Stop in the name of the law!
2:53 GREAT SCOTT. It's Rosie And Jim The Original Series. My All Time Favourite ITV Studios And Central Independent Television And Ragdoll Productions Children's Live Action Coming Of Age Fantasy Musical Family Comedy Television Series. Thanks A Lot Mate. X
brum is the best i love brum and still watch it
Still today some times I want it back I saw it in 2006-2007 when I was a ween little baby
@@joshlia6469 I used to love that show when I was a baby.
... a car crossing the road?
why did I never question that?
StephenDHenderson+ he's a small car.
Chris I agree he’s a small car
I personally think Brum should return as a Hollywood Blockbuster.
I could easily see a revival that was like a good blend of both the 90s and 2000s series, with its mix of slice-of-life and action focussed episodes (whilst knowing when to reel it in, compared to the 2000s series, that felt like it just didn't know when to stop), even having a few twists on the formulas in places, that I mentioned in another reply.
Could even introduce new characters, as well as some classic ones, like Granny Slippers, Gorgious Gordon, Bob & Job, the tramp with the small guitar, Mr Brillow, Mr Ladidah, Mr Doolally and WPC Truncion, to name a few.
Heck, I can easily imagine a few episode ideas with those characters, like a bit of a comedic take on the whole "one more step and he gets it" moment, when some group of arsonists cause some trouble, and one of them gets the idea to pretty much mess with Mr Brillow, considering he treats his gnomes like they're his children, or Brum having to catch a notorious theif, who was looking for a valuable antique trinket, only to have the twist be that Granny Slippers had the thing with her, completely unaware of its immense value, or even WPC Truncion having to deal with a loud-mouthed bully of a police officer, who was brought over from another town to help with things, as well as the ensuing embarassment the town's mayor and cheif of police would be in, when she and Brum pretty much issue the complaints about said officer's behaviour, and the obvious lack of background research that was put in, when they brought this policeman over to the big town.
I could easily imagine a satisfying scene where WPC Truncion basically just really lets it rip on the officer, and basically giving her two pennies on the guy and showing him why he should not be trying her patience like she is. Possibly saying something along the lines of; "Now you listen here, you bloated dough-ball, you. I may not have been in as may life or death scuffles as you supposedly have in *insert town name here*, but I have earned more respect for my duities here in the big town, then you have probably clubbed someone over the head with this. *shows him her truncion* So you will know better, than to get me at the end of my rope. Understand?"
I used to love Brum when I was 11, I still occasionally watch it sometimes
I request a brief history on Teletubbies
I've got a list of topics that have either been requested or that I want to cover, so don't worry, I'll get it to the list!
do it
Alex Robinson He is going to if he wants to.
And a Tots TV one!
Make a Clangers one
I used to know Rex Garrod (the man who built and designed Brum ) RIP he passed away not all that long ago 😢 he controlled the car with a Radio controller
so sas he died of alzhimers he was in robot wars for a bit ,very clever guy worth having a look ,He also did a channel 4 program called the secret life of machines
I watched the 3rd series growing up, it is the best for that reason.
I remember BRUM my childhood was awesome
Why do you think Brum should return to TV instead of becoming a Hollywood Blockbuster?
BR&GWRTrainiac Productions because Hollywood might make him a social justice warrior or woke
Because he likes bum👀
Thanks for making a video on my history :)
Brum I have a question for you. In a good way. Do you hate Pickpocket Polly? If you do I made a video where you ground her.
I do hate her. It's a good thing I could stop her.
Brum I agree with you. She steals everybody’s money. She sucks.
Brum I also got a question who built you with ragdoll
Please answer
Thank you so much man I grew up on the 90s Brum and have two videos of it still
I bet they’ll reboot it for it’s 30th Anniversary on September 26 2021
Hopefully restoring the brum model as it has seen some damage over the years
In the episode with the gorilla
That is very noticeable as his bonnet accidentally busted open
@@Northerner_Transport_Hub The season 3 model? wow, I didn't know it took so much damage bu most likely due to all the stunts it did.
@@GoldenSaddle agreed
@@Northerner_Transport_Hub If they do make a reboot and have to build a new model, then I hope they base it off the season 1 appearance and add the sounds he made in season 1, mainly to give nostalgia.
@@GoldenSaddle that would be BRUMtastic
No pun intended lol
For my birthday when I was younger my parents got me a pedal car that looked like brum, my favourite toy ever loved that show (even though I didn't watch it until the 2000s ;P)
I loved Brum when I was little, and my parents got me a Brum RC car and I loved it!!!!
Do you still have it
Bobby McKenna No. My parents got rid of it at some point when we cleaned out our basement. A real shame, too. It was the only RC car I didn’t wreck, and I could drive it off-road because the wheels were big enough to cover gravel and other small obstacles.
I've remembered having that as well.
I mostly got exposure to the 2000s seasons when it aired on TLC in the mornings. Though I didn't know those seasons had a rather lukewarm reception like Thomas Seasons 6 to 11. Plus it's funny to learn that the titular character's name is a reference to the city this was shot at. I always thought it's because the name sounded like the "vroom-vroom" sound we make when playing with toy cars.
i think brum secretly made my brother a hoon with the engine revving
The end brought a tear to my eye! 🥹
Yeah, I'll admit... Whilst the 4th series seems more like a revival of Brum in name only, and clearly seemed more generic than the first 3 series, I at least see it as harmless, mostly.
And yeah, even if the videos I owned of Brum were from the 2001-2002 series... I certainly enjoy the ones from the 90s more. Especially when I had more warm memories from what episodes I managed to see on the air, at the time.
Though, at least with the 3rd series, it had a memorable theme that played at the end of the episodes.
If Brum was brought back in a better CGI material, being made in a Student Film University, then it will look appealing. Plus, since Postman Pat and Horrid Henry had their own movie, Brum should have one but, not to be botched up!
Chris 3687 what would the plot be, then?
@@theSonicguy001 Probably a plot like a Wallace and Gromit short.
Brum looks like a smaller scale version of Bessie. Dr Who's car from the Jon Pertwee era
Something I only learn't after these two shows went off the air and I became way too old for Brum was that Rex Garod who created Casius from Robot Wars was the driver and or builder of Brum.
No shit? The guy who made and operated Brum, was the same person who originally invtented Cassius Chrome in Robot Wars.
I remember watching this when I was 4-5, still on video tapes.
I used to watch back in 2003 on my vhs
I grew up with the Dutch version, but I can agree with you on the Toyah Willcox one. The voice she was replaced with isn't exactly pleasant anymore.
The version of Brum that was for UA-cam is made by Wildbrain which DHX bought Ragdol’s properties like Brum, Tots TV, etc. I remember watching Brum on TLC as part of a block with Discovery
My childhood😍 favorite cartoon
I used to love Brum
This video was great!
I liked the 2000s Brum I never knew about Brum in the 90s. because I was born in the 2003.
If BRUM was normal sized he could have given some of those people rides. 😮
I have a feeling it was filmed at bbc's pebble mill and mailbox
I remember watching brum when I was 5 in 2009. now I’m 18 where did it all go!
Yeah, the ending music video from the 2000s was great. I can’t believe that I forgot about it.
to be honist seasons 1 to 3 are my favorites
i like when he was chasing the baddies the best
Are you doing any more 'A Brief History' videos at all? I absolutely love these videos :)
My god, that children's collection VHS at 07:40 brings back memories!
Those thieves in the bank scene, or "robbers" as the show calls them, are the most clichè thieves i've ever seen XD
Ahh yes my childhood show even tho it’s a old show I had many dvds
brum is now a car that is the size of a normal car in cartoons. and is literally a youtube kids car now
forgot to mention that he is in an anthropormorphic world where there is a anthropormorphic monkey who is a scientist. and they go on fictional adventures. and brum is a normal sized car
Brum is one of my favorite kid shows as a kid. I definitely agree with you. Brum should have a second chance to come back for more episode and series. The guy playing as The Big Town Robber name Andrew Davenport was one of the creators on that show.
Me too.
I remember Brum, I remember an episode or clip where Brum took this person through a car wash, 5yo me really got a kick out of that, though my memory of it isn't too great (it must have been about 12-13 years ago, I was around 4-5 then). None of the 90s episodes looked familiar so my best guess is that it's from the 2001 series
I love Brum!
Watched this on TLC as a Kid.
Watching this makes me feel old, remember watching Brum in his final years (around 2004)... any idea how he was controlled??
Hi Ben - He was designed and built by Rex Garrod (he did a tv series in the 80s with Tim Hunkin called 'The secret life of machines' - available on UA-cam and also built Cassius on 'Robot Wars'). Brum was radio controlled by one of my ex colleagues, Brett Davis.
R.I.P. Rex Garrod, 1943 - 2019, whom built Brum.
I’m 14 now but yet brum was still on when I was very little
I'm glad I'm not the only one who hated the early 00's Brum reboot as a kid. Though I do remember creating some crass "alternate" lyrics for the ending song. 😂
haha I knew it was filmed in Brummy! Aren't there these spherical car-stopper thingys that he drives around at one point?
My memories of Brum are very crude. For example, I never remembered music being in the opening.
Edit: I had a copy of the 2000s show.
please do a brief history of Teletubbies!
Best history ever
when I was three years old living in the United States my parents would put this on because we’d get it over in the states and even back as a three year old I loved cars and I really loved the brum tv show I would watch it religiously whenever it was on my parents even taped it on VHS I still have that VHS tape that taped for me and some more I have a couple others my mom bought me the remote controlled Brum car I lost the car because I was very young at the time but somehow I still to this day I have the remote I don’t know how that happened but I just now found another RC Bram car on eBay with no remote so hopefully the remote works I’m going to put it on my shelf after I see if it works with my original remote first but Brum was a excellent show I really did enjoy it one of my favorites even to this day at 22 years old
6:54 | And now.... *DANCE.*
they should do some more episodes of brum
I saw a few episodes of the series and I do hope they bring it back.
What's everyone's fav episode? Mine is the crane one
