Set in Birmingham, England (referred to as "Big Town" in the series) and produced by Ragdoll Productions, Brum was first broadcast in 1991 and the last live-action series was broadcast in 2002. It was initially directed, written and produced by Anne Wood and initially narrated by Toyah Willcox who also provided the voice for Brum and all the characters in story form. In series 3, all the characters including Brum were silent except for the car noises. The narrator provided commentary similar to silent film rather than the previous story form. A new CGI-animated series, aimed at young pre-school children, was produced in 2016. Brum's VHS and DVDs went extremely wild in the UK and Australia, but US VHS and DVD releases weren't as popular.
