The series is set in the fictional small, picturesque village of Camberwick Green, Trumptonshire. Inhabitants include Police Constable [=McGarry=] (Number 452), Mickey Murphy the baker and his twin[[note]] Or possibly not; the series never quite makes it clear if they are twins.[[/note]] children Paddy and Mary, Mr Carraway the fishmonger, Peter Hazell the postman, Mrs Dingle the postmistress and her puppy, Packet, Dr Mopp (who makes house calls in his vintage car), Mr Crockett the car mechanic, Roger Varley the chimney sweep who travels around on a motorbike, Mr Thomas Tripp the milkman, and the village gossip, Mrs Honeyman, who is always seen carrying her baby, apart from when she hands him to another resident. Just outside the village lives Jonathan Bell, owner of a "modern mechanical farm", who has a friendly rivalry with Windy Miller, owner of a clanking old – but nevertheless efficiently functional – windmill and a firm believer in old fashioned farming methods. The village is also home to the military academy of Pippin Fort, run by Captain Snort and Sergeant-Major Grout, whose cadets are often seen on parade or acting as the village fire-fighters (a job taken over by the Trumpton Fire Brigade in ''Trumpton''). Every episode features multiple musical numbers, as each character has a theme song and a "travelling song".

''Camberwick Green'' steers clear of over fantasy (apart from the musical box in the introduction) and is simply about ordinary people doing everyday things, with the villagers facing such low-key crises as a flour shortage, a swarm of bees, a water shortage, and rumours that an electrical substation will be built in the village and ruin the landscape. The troubles are invariably resolved happily by the end of the episode.

* SharedUniverse: With it's sister shows Trumpton and Chigley.

''Camberwick Green'' is a British children's television series that ran from January to March 1966 on [=BBC1=], featuring stop motion puppets. Camberwick Green is the first in the Trumptonshire trilogy, which also includes Trumpton and Chigley.

The series is set in the small, picturesque (and fictitious) village of Camberwick Green, Trumptonshire, which is inhabited by such characters as Police Constable [=McGarry=] (Number 452), Mickey Murphy the baker and his twin? children Paddy and Mary (It is never established they are twins) , Mr Carraway the fishmonger, Peter Hazell the postman, Mrs Dingle the postmistress and her puppy, Packet, Dr Mopp (who makes house calls in his vintage car), Mr Crockett the car mechanic, Roger Varley the chimney sweep, who travels around on a motorbike, Mr Thomas Tripp the milkman, and the village gossip, Mrs Honeyman, who is always seen carrying her baby. (Apart from when she hands him to another resident) Just outside the village lives Jonathan Bell, owner of a "modern mechanical farm", who has a friendly rivalry with Windy Miller, owner of a clanking old – but nevertheless efficiently functional – windmill and a firm believer in old fashioned farming methods.

Mr Dagenham, a travelling salesman who drives an open-topped convertible, appears just once. The staff and cadets of Pippin Fort, a nearby military academy run by Captain Snort and Sergeant-Major Grout, appear in all but one episode ("Paddy Murphy"). The series mixes contemporary technology with Edwardian costume and social attitudes. Almost all the characters have their own theme songs and travelling songs. There are two other characters who never appear in the stories: Mr Honeyman, who, according to Peter Hazell's song, "keeps the chemist shop", and an unnamed clown or pierrot, who turns a roller caption to display the show's closing credits.

Each week the villagers undergo such domestic crises as a shortage of flour, a swarm of bees, a water shortage and rumours of an unwanted electrical substation being built in the village. At the end of each episode, the narrator bids farewell to the puppet character who was seen at the beginning and the latter disappears back into the musical box.

Camberwick Green has no overt fantasy content apart from the musical box. For the most part, it is simply about ordinary people doing everyday things, and perhaps for that reason it remains popular. Along with its two successors, the series was repeated many times on the BBC until 1985, and then on Channel 4 from 1994 to 2000.
