Camberwick Green was a small village near the town of Trumpton. It would begin with a box, and you would hear the narration: "Here is a box, a musical box, wound up and ready to play. But this box can hide a secret inside. Can you guess what is in it today?" and then the main character of that programme would rise out of the box!

If you're familiar with the comedy television show 'Whose Line is it Anyway' then you might remember the "voice-overs" game, which involved a number of comedians providing a completely improvised voice-over to a random television clip. And... there was a Camberwick Green clip used!!
