Product Information

Grandad Tumble is such a fun and endearing character to play. He tries to pass down his wisdom and knowledge to Mr Tumble, but it never seems to go to plan. The DJ scene was great fun and filming it is his shed was a clever idea. He is a very engaging and warm character that you can place in almost any situation.

I would love to have gone to the Oscars but due to the travel restrictions in place at the time, it wasn’t possible. However, I was thrilled to hear that the film had been nominated.Do you find it impossible to go anywhere in public without having to “Tumble up” as it were for any kids who spot you or do grateful parents follow you around with heartfelt thanks for entertaining their little ones ? Thanks for all your thoughtful, funny output. mattpointblank

It has to be the brontosaurus. Wouldn’t it be amazing to be able to see one of those again in the wild? They really are gentle giants! When the programme Something Special was being developed about 20 years ago, I was asked to present the first four episodes. The programme uses Makaton, a signing system that was created over 40 years ago. I learned about 300 signs initially. Now, in preparation for each series, I learn a new set of words. It’s wonderful to be able to sign with so many families during the filming of each show. Makaton is an incredibly important communication tool that helps so many people. As well as filming in the studio we travel all over the UK and get to meet so many new friends. The Tumble Family seems to grow each year as well, with new characters providing an opportunity to develop new storylines for the Tumble segments in the show. The fact that other writers, railway enthusaists, etc. have referred at various times to the turn-under as a 'tumble-home' (e.g. in Keith's quote) doesn't alter the fact that a vehicle builder in the carriage works at Swindon would have understood the word 'tumblehome' to describe the inward cant of a vehicle above the waist rail, and would have used the word "turnunder" to refer to the inward curve of the body side below the waist rail.Items that are not available in store will take 3-5 working days (excluding weekends and bank holidays) to be delivered to your nominated store. Likewise, the railway companies themselves used the term "tumble-home" to refer to the inward cant of certain coaches above the waist line. Your comic timing with Robert the Robot [on CBeebies show Justin’s House] always reminds me of Laurel and Hardy – who inspires your characters? lime7 Train will randomly reverse directions, make unpredictable movements and sounds to keep kids playing and laughing. Keith doesn't explain the provenance of the quote he has reproduced, but it was the railway companies themselves who referred to the inward curve of the coach body below the waist as the "turn-under".
