Hello again – Brum here – I’m so excited that I just had to blog again – I think that is what you say! No, no it’s not Tokyo or the Olympics, but I have some fantastic news. You remember those awards that I told you about just the other day, well, coming right up to date, a website called money.co.uk has just published the results of a survey of the best value tourist attractions in the whole of the UK and this is what it said:

“The second-best value attraction in the UK is the Cotswold Motoring and Toy Museum; located in the picturesque village of Bourton-on-the-Water, visitors are promised a nostalgic experience thanks to the great collection of vintage cars for the reasonable price of £6.75. Visitors who remember him will be delighted to see Brum, the little yellow car from the classic children’s TV show”. 

Wow, what a brilliant early 30^th birthday present – it really is just like winning a silver medal! With that stunning news, I’m almost lost for words. I need to rest. Keep safe, toot, toot.

Hello everyone, Brum here again – I quite like using this blog to speak with my many admirers.

Did I mention that I have a very special birthday in September this year? I think I must have done because Graham told me that since the news leaked out, his inbox has been flooded with an email from a Mrs Trellis of North Wales. Well, she said that in 1991 she would watch me on TV every week. Each week I would escape from the museum when my owner Mike wasn’t looking (which seemed to be every programme) and off I would go to the seaside, the supermarket, the airport, even the scrapyard – I didn’t like that one much – oh, and more than once, I caught a couple of thieves.  Mrs Trellis said that the programme that she most enjoyed was one where I was being given a good rub down by a bunch of fire-fighters from the Big Town – I quite enjoyed that one too.

Graham tells me that many of my programmes are still on something called You Tube and BBC iPlayer. A lovely lady called Toyah Willcox told my story when I first started to become famous: I wonder if she would have been so famous if it wasn’t for me?

Speaking of fame, in 2014 I was voted the third most popular children’s programme out of 50 for the 1990s, only Bob the Builder and Teletubbies were ahead of me. I was the only car to make the top 3 in any of the six decades and my theme music was popular too. You can hear it still if you visit me in the museum. Please come along, I love visitors. Toot toot!
