If the BBC had fucked with The Clangers remake I would not have been held responsible for my actions. I suspect many other people felt the same way.

Instead of slop animation the BBC did Oliver Postgate proud.

My heart....

Those three minutes are worth the licence fee.

Deep joy, my grandfather loved Ivor the Engine. He used to have his supper with us after he was widowed and he would let it go cold if Ivor the Engine wasn't finished.

His work included classic children's TV shows such as Ivor The Engine, Pogles' Wood and The Clangers but he's probably best known for Bagpuss.

I would like to introduce you to a friend of mine, whose fifty-first birthday is today.
We have been together quite a time, after meeting in a charity shop.
He was actually bought to sit in my shop, but I feared he may get sold whilst I was not there, so he only went there with me, and came straight back.
And I have, perhaps oddly, taken him camping, every single time.

Had a look at my Mum's #knitting patterns:

1. Things for charity
2. Mittens, hats & scarves
3. Baby jumpers
4. Knit #superted
5. Knit #ActionMan clothes
6. Knit a #clanger ( from the afternoon we went to see #OliverPostgate )

Which sort of suns up my Mum's knitting life actually.

Yes, that is a real Bagpuss. The Beaney House of Art & Knowledge in Canterbury is home of props from Smallfilms, where Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin created classics like The Clangers and Noggin the Nog. #bagpuss #oliverpostgate #clangers #smallfilms #kidstv #ChildrensTelevision #classictv
