Brum is a British children's television series created by Frank Beattie and Anne Wood. The series was originally narrated by Toyah Willcox, who also provided the voice for Brum and all characters. The show aired for three series between 1991 and 2002, with two revived CGI series on YouTube in 2016. The show first aired on BBC1 on the children's block, Children's BBC, and later on CBeebies.
Set in the "Big Town" (mostly filmed in Birmingham, England) and produced by Ragdoll Productions, Brum's first broadcasting was 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 all the car noises. The voiceover format used in the early 2000s was completely different; rather than the traditional storytelling format used in a third-person story form by Toyah Willcox, two child narrators, Tom Wright and Sarah Wichall, were featured, and each child narrator would most often comment on several of the events of each episode similar to silent film. A new CGI-animated series, aimed at young pre-school children, was produced in 2016.
