Brum is actually a minature Austin 7 but in the kids TV programme he drives himself! He expresses emotion by opening his bonnet, tooting his horn and opening his doors. He can also do a little "jiggle"!

None of the characters of Brum speak but they use pantomime and off-screen narration - this means that Brum has been broadcast in many different countries including Italy, Norway and Sweden!

The name "Brum" originally refered to both the "Brum" noise a car makes and the city of Birmingham although this has been reduced over the years and is now merely known as "The Big Town".

Characters in Brum :

  • Granny Slippers
  • Mr Brillo
  • Big Town Manager
  • Bob & Job
