First watched : Uncertain
Camberwick Green returned to the schedules on Wednesdays from 5th March 1969 replacing Tales of the Riverbank.
The thirteen episodes were made in 1965 and first broadcast at the beginning of 1966.
What I loved best about Camberwick Green was the beginning when the pierrot puppet started a Victorian music box going and it gradually opened to reveal the character who was going to be the focus of that episode. That worked for me even though none of the characters had much individual personality so it wasn't really possible to have a favourite.

Camberwick Green like its sister shows highlighted aspects of everyday life; the only fantasy element was the anachronistic design of many of the puppets. Gordon Murray clearly had a love for Victoriana. Dr Mopp looked like a character from Sherlock Holmes while as you can see from the still above the soldiers got about in a truck while wearing a uniform from the Napoleonic era.
