Why It Rocks
- Awesome stories about Brum exploring the world around him.
- Pleasant narration from Toyah Willcox (Series 1 and 2) and child voice overs (Series 3 to 5).
- The closing theme from Series 3 to 5 is catchy.
- Many likeable characters, such as Brum himself and even the Big Town Baddies, the antagonists of the show.
- Funny acting.
- Excellent mix of models and live action.
- Brum is based off a late 1920s Austin 7.
- Excellent settings, like the city of Birmingham, England as the Big Town.
- Great soundtrack.
- The first 3 series (with the exception of some episodes, especially 4th and 5th series), were added to BBC iPlayer and SKY as of since September 2020 in the UK only.
- The episode "Brum and the Crazy Chair Chase" ended the show on a high note.
Bad Qualities
- The 2016 reboot was really bad, along with the 2017 reboot, Brum & friends, which has absolutely no connection to the original series at all.
