[20][9] In the early 1980s, Bura and Hardwick moved from Womersley Road to what would become the Church Studios,[9][21][15] but due to pressure from the local council (owing to the way it was then operated),[15][22] they had to sell part of it, which ended up going to Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox of pop group Eurythmics.

[23][21] A while later, the BBC decided to cut their ties with Bura and Hardwick, owing to the desire for a substantial increase in outsourced productions.

[15] This was done as a result of the Broadcasting Act 1990's requirements for at least 25% of its output to be sourced from independent companies,[27][28] which would have doomed Bura and Hardwick's future careers; nonetheless they were hopeful that they would find a good sponsor to continue.

[9] Each frame took an hour to shoot,[8] and by the end of a given week Bura, Hardwick, and their team of assistants may have completed at least two minutes and 30 seconds of footage.

[5][4] In order to make sure that they would not be effected by the heat of the studio lights (as had happened during filming of Camberwick Green),[29] later productions had further modifications made to the camera.

[37][38] At the request of Hardwick, Camberwick and the rest of the Trumptonshire trilogy was filmed in colour as opposed to black-and-white, requiring the first episode (Peter the Postman) to be reshot.

[29] This ensured a long period of repeats for the trilogy,[5][39][40][41][42][43][4] in keeping with Bura's philosophy regarding their work together: Everything we do, we do in a position that we think people will want to see it forever.

[29] Bura and Hardwick's 1968 animation of Igor Stravinsky's Petrushka was well received, praised by the BBC as a highlight of that year,[44] and by The Guardian as “by far the most imaginative British use of puppets one has seen on Television”.

[9][46] The animation style created by the studio for the Trumptonshire trilogy has been recreated and parodied numerous times: commercials for Windmill Bakery[47] and Quaker Oats,[48] appearances in the BBC's Future Generations,[48] and pastiches in Life on Mars[49] and the music video for Radiohead's 2016 single Burn the Witch.
