is that the one where they'd make a kid put an oversized helmet on and navigate his way through a virtual world, while his mates shouted "HALF-STEP LEFT!! HALF-STEP LEFT!! 32 DEGREE TURN RIGHT!! STAND ON ONE LEG!!" at him? i used to love that.. i seem to remember the host (or dungeonmaster or whatever he was) looked a bit like trigger from only fools & horses, but that's probably just my mind playing tricks lol..

I would think so, it was early 90s. Tony Blackburn was the writer and starred in it; Mark Billingham who now writes thriller novels also starred. It's as much an adult comedy as a children''s one though.
I think you'll find that it was Tony "tiny tit in a beard" Robinson.

Indeed, I think I was multi-tasking and reading about football at the same time; many apologies.

I used to love Trumpton, Camberwick and Chigley. My Daughter is 3 and I am proud to say she loves them too above 'In the night garden' and all the other kids rubbish on these days. :)

Unemployments rising at the Chigley end of town...
Thats because no one wanted to work in the biscuit factory any more cos they didnt want to take part in the square dancing at the end of every day, Mr Swallow went to be a steward on those new diesel trains when british rail took all the business off Mr Rumpling with false promises of a better service and Harry Farthing lost all his trade to mass production form China.
(for those who are not as sad as me just skip by this post to the next hehe)
