The Circus

Ivor the Engine, Book 22

By: Oliver Postgate, Peter Firmin

Narrated by: Oliver Postgate

These stories are taken from the original black-and-white Ivor the Engine television series, first broadcast between 1959 and 1962.

Preserved from the original recordings, the audio reflects the production methods of the time and includes some natural variation in sound quality.

This is part of the character and authenticity of these early episodes, offering a rare opportunity to hear Ivor and his world as they were first experienced.

In The Circus, Charlie Banger's circus rolls into town and brings excitement, friendship and a dash of spectacle to Ivor's railway. It is a bright, festive adventure as the circus comes to town.

Restoration note: First recorded in the 1950s, these classic performances have been lovingly remastered using the best surviving source material to provide the finest possible listening experience. While every effort has been made to improve clarity, the age and condition of the original recordings mean that occasional background interference or minor imperfections may still be audible. We hope you enjoy this beautifully restored classic.
