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!
