The Flumps - The Cloud - Part 1 

This simply made me cry. I associate this particular episode with my Grandma - remember so vividly watching it with her as a small child.

Suddenly, I'm a 7yr old, school-skiving little sod again. They need to bring this back, with Jane Horrocks doing the voices.

Wonderful to hear on my 43rd birthday and how could you dislike the flumps

If you're too 'grown-up' to enjoy The Flumps, I say you've grown too far :)

I loved this show when I was a kid, they should bring it back

One things that's amazing about these old shows is how completely unexciting they are. The pacing is so sedate and comfortable. No wonder kids all have ADHD now.

- i couldnt remember the name of this...... 24 years later . - and still very great. thanks

Me, the sofa, jam sandwiches and the flumps. Ahh ! happy memories. Thanks

Can relate to this episode more now as an adult than back then when i was a kid lol

These old fashioned kids shows are so more relaxing and slow paced compared to modern mad stuff. I remember this show fondly.

holy cow, this rolls back the years..

omg this is one of my earliest memories

My mum remembers this and she loves it

My absolute fave back in the seventies

My birth year 1976! I remember sitting down as a two year old watching this in 1977!

Born 76, dont know when i first saw it but the music stayed with me and now i think there well funny!! dont mess with the flumps!!

God, I remember this now; funny how I had forgotten all about this and then it all comes back to me seeing this when I was 5. Seeing this now in one's forties makes you realize just how shite children's programmes can be that you liked as a child(!) haha

just looked these up after a pal from when i was a kid reminded me of them. used t watch wen i was a kid. loved it. stil use the word umpty:)x

The quality of British TV is directly related to the amount of clarinet in the theme tune. (true fax!!!) xD

My god, I had forgotten Flumps! Remembered Bagpuss, and found them on the suggestions!

Great memories, this was one of the earliest shows I remember watching. Thanks for uploading this

These old shows had great scripts.

@TributeToThePast yep i remember watching the flumps as a child and experiencing a craving for laddu's....great memories thanks:)

Done this, Rentaghost, Chocablock and Fingerbobs. Time for some Bod...

It's the bloody Flumps!

This takes me back - used to love these And if that theme music's familiar then it was used in the recent TV ads for Autotrader...

A realistic warts and all portrayal of Northern life back in the seventies. Poor, cold and forever wingeing

I'd forgotten Perkin. Excellent stuff.

oh God i'm old. i even remember this

I remember watching this :( I am now 34 years of age :( Its all Good :D

"The porridge is too loud!" LOL. I wake up like Perkin most mornings, unfortunately.

ha! id forgotten all about this show! some1 was singing the theme and it drove me nuts trying to figure out wot it was! ah childhood memories, i was born in 77 not sure when i used to watch it though.

Ah Man i well love this programme, i have all those hats too.

fond memories!!!

Fucking loved The Flumps. Perkin was the moody one. As a child I'd don a bobble woolly hat and watch the show when it was on at lunchtime weekdays, or if I was allowed to stay home from school sick or if Mum let me stay home after lunchtime from Primary School....thems the days! Mum used to call me Pootle an all!

heh heh heh - blast from the past with a kick arse tune to match! :)

i remember this one !

I bought a video in a charity shop , for 50p ..all the episodes..bargain..anyway, this is the best episode..i watched it whilst tripping once, and had laff at the umpty song...lol

aww I loved the Flumps

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS ON DVD WITH MY DAD

fond memories!!! - I'm Humpty - brilliant!!!!

My childhood right here

this is amazing

Ahhh... baby memories!

God, I'm practically a fossil for remembering when this was on TV.....:(

I used to watch this and I’m only 13!!!

I love the flumps

the flumps i remember these

I`m umpty as well!

I cant stop laughing at the umpty song!!! :)

Thanks Auto Trader

They are all brothers and sister and posie being the girl and has a flowery name.

It's used on the Autotrader ad's mate!

Pretty much The Flumps was a family of Hairy Yorkshire testicles which wore hats and had kind of mundane adventures in an allotment.

They should have American voices their all the right shape and size!

“Pootle” 😂

so cute

If only the blow would wind, said Pootle

never forget the mother fucking flumps

Божечки

@Skraboing649 ...lol...ACTUALLY...it's both...it starts with trombone, then the clarinet kicks in at 0:06....;p

@drav6 I just looked those up, and they really do :) I think my dad might have brought some of those back from his travels to India once or twice...

There's probably a good reason it says "gay" as Gay Soper was the narrator of this fabulous 70's children's series. Poor Perkin! It's not nice to be "umpty"!

Where's part 2 goddammit!

My cousin and I were playing on Xbox, and we got into an argument. He tried to call me overweight, or fat, and instead stutters and calls me Flumpy. And from then on, my name on everything is Flumpy. Let it be Loyal Flumpy, iiFlump, FlumpTheWorld, anything. I also use it as a verb to describe raunchy things like "I would flump all over that girls chest." and "Flump YEAH!"

Pootle and Posey are dope.

this is proper kids tv. not like the teletubby night garden crap our kids have to watch these days

Much better than the Wombles.

testicles with hats straight after pebble mill at 1,

Hipsters!

the next great dnd meme

WICKED ! :o)

I'm here because of seananners

hope ur feeling better!

@Dhekelian Some of the stuff these days is great and influenced by these sort of things. In The Night Garden was influenced by Oliver Postgate

oh perkins where have yaa been!

I feel 'Perkin' too every day. My hubZand is 'un-Perkin', which is a PAIN!!!!

don't F with the Flumps

Cool

Flumps get bread.

This button moon, pidgeon street, rainbow, why don't you, wombles, aand many many more programmes watched on a black and white tv that you had to physically tune to get one of the only 3 tv channels

like the shrewsbury town fan

This Show started in 1977 not 1976.

A 20-minute programme? Children had a lot of time on their hands back then.

..dad the flump

Press 3 and you'll get a summary of why I'm on my computer right now!

that's exactly how i react when i stub my toe

flashbacks

agreed x_x

Not quite Oliver Postgate but still brilliant.

@MsPeachy3 How could you forget Perkin and Pootle?!

The DVD release is poor quality - really washed out colours and wobbly jumpy film. This is far better (apart from RU-vid fuzziness!). My kids think this story is great - Thank you!

This tune has rolled around my head for the last week - now I've remembered what it was - get the fuck to hell ya furry twats!

I get mixed up between The Flumps and The Klumps.

you are very very very funy like you gise very much

Ha i remember this im 44 now!! the bloody flumps... It was a little bit boring. The show ended up being cancelled as two of the flumps were eaten by the Wombles of Wimbledon!!

it does say gay. My God. I am never letting my son watch this evil in case he turns into a bummer boy. In fact, I fancy a bit of male loving myself now. And its is all the Flumps fault. And yours for pointing it out!!

You Have Anymore Coming In Soon? =)

Karl Pilkington brought me here =D
