The fire brigade was perhaps Trumpton's most-recognised feature.
Captain Flack's (who could remember his name?) roll-call was recited in all but one episode: ‘Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb.’
And remember, it was ‘Pugh, Pugh’ not ‘Hugh, Pugh’ or ‘Pugh, Huw’, for the Pughs were not only brothers but twins.
