This is really sad news. I enjoyed Trumpton, Camberwick Green and Chigley. These programmes are now viewed has classic and leading children's television programmes. I wonder if today's children will remember the programmes they watch with the same nostalgic affection? R.I.P. Gordon Murrey.

Sad news, I saw it on the BBC site earlier. As well as Camberwick Green / Trumpton / Chigley he provided the modelwork for a few more shows.

I'm sure today's children's TV shows will be remembered, recently I was talking to someone younger than me about the Powerpuff Girls, which she fondly remembered from when she was young.

Gordon was way ahead of his time. He produced Trumpton, Chigley & Candlewick Green in colour before colour televisions were inv.ented

Yes they were smart enough to use colour a good 18 months before BBC2 started switched over.

I know some ITV series used colour even earlier, but were make with one eye on exports to the USA.

The colour Andy Pandys were quite early, mostly because the B&W films were beginning to wear out.

I only just spotted this thread and hadn't heard the news. Very sad to have lost the creator of such iconic programmes. RIP.
