Wimpole Village | The Forgotten CITV Classic You Probably Haven’t Seen Since the 1980s!

Do you remember Wimpole Village? This charming Children’s ITV series delighted young viewers in 1987 with its quirky characters, gentle storytelling and wonderfully British sense of humour. Created by Peter Kingston, Wimpole Village followed the everyday adventures of the residents of a small village where everyone’s name reflected their job. From Dennis Letterleaver the postman and Ethel Doughkneader the baker to PC Crooknabber and Mayor Charlie Chambers, the village was filled with unforgettable characters that made every episode a joy to watch. (Wikipedia⁠) Narrated by Tim “Timbo” Lloyd and featuring music by Tony Kinsey, the series originally aired on Children’s ITV in 1987. Despite only running for a short time, it became a fondly remembered part of British children’s television and later found a second life on VHS through releases from Tempo Video and Abbey Home Entertainment. Join us as we take a nostalgic trip back to Wimpole Village, exploring its history, characters, books, VHS releases and why this forgotten gem still holds a special place in the hearts of classic children’s TV fans.
