Chigley - Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train
Фильм және анимация
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.

Brilliant. What a wonderful thing to able to say.
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.

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.
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 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
I have many happy memories of Trumpton, Chigley and Camberwick Green
British Childrens TV in the 70's was a wonder
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 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.
Still able to remember every word at 63
Old ones are the best. Always will be.
It’s amazing how all the words come back to you having not heard this for 50 odd years 😅
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.

Brian Cant - legend. Glorious childhood memories of that great mans narrating voice and Play School and Playaway too.
Wow I just found this and its blown my mind. And I'm I'm 50 next month. It's now 11/3/2021....
The man deserves a knighthood. Absolute legend. I will never forget the wonderful worlds he created. RIP Brian Cant
life seemed so simple then..... kids today dont know what they are missing
Etched in my childhood memory, and adult memory too. 😊
My childhood right here R.I.P Brian
Brian Cant's lovely singig voice. So pure and unaffected.
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
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. ATVmidlandsUK

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.
This is one of the most underrated jamz ever!
One word for this series: MONUMENTAL
RIP Brian Cant. A true legend.
Rest in peace Brian Cant
Great little Songs & excellent animation. & the Steam Train's Cottonwool Smoke !!! 🥰
brings back a lot of memories,a golden age of kids tv
RIP Brian Cant and Gordon Murray. Thanks for the memories.
RIP Brian Cant. Such a big part of my childhood ... :(
oh such warm memories. The children of today don't know what they're missing out on.
I loved watching this show when I was young and still do today listening to this timeless song 🎵 brings back childhood memories 👍❤️🚂🥲
The Trouble with Trains 2 brought me here! Also, R.I.P. Brian Cant (1933-2017) You are a childhood legend.
Wow, what a blast from the past. Superb trip down memory lane. Thanks
A nearly forgotten innocence. How do we get back there?

RIP Brian Cant, who died 2017-06-19, aged 83.
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???
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. 🙏📿🤲

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!
i used to watch this so much, sadly it was rarely on..
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
I love this original version, but I was looking for Half Man, Half Biscuit. Such a cornerstone of our shared childhood experiences eh?
As a wee lad I loved trains and I still do. I used to love this song as well.
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.
If it's not been said Half-man, half biscuit..
It speaks volumes for the human spirit that Lord Belborough's train line somehow survived Dr Beeching's axe!
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.
Proper kids TV. Lovely guitar too.
PREACHER!!!
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!.

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.
I loved Chigley, Trumpton and Camberwick Green
CLASSIC!!!!!!
This song always comes to mind whenever im on the footplate.
