Bye bye Bagpuss

Oliver Postgate, genius, has died. A moment's silence, followed by respectful Clanger noises for the man who made so many of the beautiful imaginings that populated my TV screen when I was a child.

[thanks to [livejournal.com profile] fjm for the heads-up.]

Wow, I'd never heard of any of this.

Time to dive into the collective memory of the Web *dons Internet Goggles and Bathing Suit 2.0*

Really? I can't imagine not knowing about Noggin the Nog or Ivor the Engine, and Bagpuss is such a staple of childhood that even Rowan is now calling her pink and white fluffy cat by the name.

And the Clangers is simply inspired surreal SF disguised as a kids' show.
