Fabulous Films continue their noble quest of nostalgia with another classic of children’s TV making its Blu-ray debut alongside remastered DVDs – the beloved Trumptonshire trilogy, comprised of Camberwick Green, Trumpton, and Chigley. These beautifully animated and charmingly quaint tales are bright and crisp on Blu-ray, and available individually or as a bumper boxset containing all 3 series. Our Paula reviewed the set here, and we unboxed below…
