Lesley Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 ....and Lauren's favourite.....Pussbag (sorry, she never can get it right) He was such a gentle man and his programmes are some of the best children's television ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Classic TV at its best . How sad he has died. Kids' programmes just ain't what they used to be . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joojoo Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I've got Bagpuss and the Clangers on DVD and loved Ivor the Engine too. His children's programes will never be forgotten. There hasn't been anything anywhere near as good either before or since. RIP Oliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlo Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 What a brilliant photo! I loved all the Oliver Postgate programmes too. They played an interview with him from last year on Five Live breakfast this morning. Nicky Campbell asked him to recite the beginning of Noggin and it was sublime! He has had a good life and has made millions very happy. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Oh what memories of such simple pleasures.SIGH Woodentops, Andy Pandy and Bill and Ben. I was 7 when Ivor the Engine hit our black and white screens and 23 when Bagpuss our colour ones. I actually would love a Bagpuss for Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutrix Farmers Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Very sad news. He bought joy to thousands of us of a particular age!! Do you think they (ie TV schedulers) will repeat any of the programmes just for us fortysomethings? I could do with a bit of Ivor the Engine or Noggin the Nog to cheer me up.

little chickadee Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'm a big Bagpuss fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 It was so sad to hear that this morning. The Clangers were my favourite - did you know that they wrote whole scripts for each Clanger episode, then 'played' them on the kazoo?
