Once upon a time, not so long ago, there were two overgrown boys called Oliver and Peter.
And Peter lived on a farm near Canterbury. It was a rather unusual farm because it didn't grow any crops and there were no sheep or cows, but it was the home of Ivor the Engine, Noggin the Nog, the Clangers and of course Bagpuss.
And there they made the most beautiful, the most brilliant, funny old Small Films in the whole wide world.
Very sad news that Oliver Postgate has left us.

A sad loss indeed Kingsdowner. Didn't he do ''The Herbs'' My all time favorite.
The video was interesting....always sad to lose a talented person who makes people smile.
I always thought that his narration was under rated - such a calm, soporific voice that complimented the charming films that he made.
They played some of his election spoof on Have I got news for you tonight. At the time it was considered so subversive it was only shown once!
