RIP Oliver Postgate

[Elune]

Another childhood hero gone but not forgotten.

Oliver Postgate created the finest U.K. children's television, still remembered by a legion of (now grown up) fans.

Indeed, he will be sorely missed!

Ivor the Engine, The Clangers, Bagpuss, Noggin the Nog. The list just goes on and on. My personal favourite was Noggin the Nog; well, actually it was Nogbad the Bad, but that's probably just me! ... RIP!

Bagpuss is my favorite. They don't make kids shows like that anymore. Rip

[ThePainter]

I had a deprived childhood ... I never actually saw Bagpuss; poor me! And no, they definitely don't make shows like that anymore; which makes this a double tragedy!

[Scarlet]

I know this is very sad but l have Bagpuss on dvd if you want to lend it Painter.

[ThePainter]

Why not. Bagpuss it is then. :) Cheers!

[Scarlet]

Will bring it tomorrow.

Painter you got another message.:p
