Oliver Postgate. R.I.P.
Died 8th December..
Really sad......though 83 is no bad age.
Bless him.
A legend and a gentleman.

In 1999, and again in 2007, Bagpuss was voted the most poular children's programme of all time.
Sure got my vote.

I could write reams about the wonderful worlds created by Oliver Postgate, and his collaborator, Peter Firmin.
about what they meant to myself, to people of a certain age...and a whole younger generation who still delight in these animated worlds even today.
Magical tales of innocence and gentle adventure.
and maybe I will.

but for now my thoughts are with his family, who have lost a wonderful and creative soul.
May God Bless him.
