If your children love Thomas, they will love Brum the darling little mustard colored antique car that always saves the day. The theme song is catchy and I hope to have the lyrics up at some point.
Brum was on TLC (USA) for a couple of years early early am Monday through Fridays but is no longer on TV as far as we know. We all loved this quality children's show. My daughter dressed as "Granny Slippers" one Halloween.
Each show had two episodes. The show was on for at least 20 minutes. Pez the penguin occupied the other ten minutes before Brum started.
Most of the stories are told through the actors pantomiming, bright colored costumes, and the brass instrumental music. Children's voices are heard making comments on what is happening periodically.
There are 6 DVDs out with several (5-7) episodes on each. Amazon sells them. They would make a great and unique gift.
Radio Shack sold large Brum remote control vehicles in 2004 and 2005 in the USA. EBay offers some Brum merchandise but most of it is out of the USA so shipping is costly, not to mention customs taxes on top of shipping.
