Oliver Postgate dies....
Discussion
Sad news today of the death of one of the biggest influences in British children's television.

Loved Bagpuss and The Clangers, liked Ivor The Engine. I'd be surprised if there's anyone over 21 who hasn't seen one of his creations. An absolute genius in his field and his death is a reminder of the good old days when children's TV was the best in the world.
RIP Oliver Postgate.

He was a genius. The Clangers especially - "an everyday tale of knitted space-mice". Love 'em!
Best line - "Oh sod it. The bloody thing's stuck again"(This was in the script, but was of course whistled on the recording)
I've just 'said' that phrase to myself in a Clangers-type whistle

I too grew up with his childrens programmes, loved them all. Still much better than the garbage that is churned out now days.
Makes me laugh when adults complain about kids TV nowadays. Of course you don't fking like it anymore it's kids TV :PGassing Station | The Pie & Piston Archive | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
