When Bagpuss goes to sleep, all his friends go to sleep.



Oliver Postgate, creator of the finest television programmes for smaller people, has died aged 83.

Many of us will have a special place in our hearts for his programming creations, but for those too young to remember, these include:

Bagpuss

Pogles

Noggin the Nog

Ivor the Engine

Pingwings

and of course, the Clangers.

He also had a sharp political mind, and a firm sense of social justice. Many of his essays can be seen on his website and are highly recommended.
