RIP Oliver Postgate

[steepholm]

Noggin the Nog and The Clangers were surely enough for any one person to create, but Bagpuss too? And Pogle's Wood? The man was a genius. Ivor the Engine I could take or leave, but it had charm at least, and it was fun hearing Postgate's array of squeaky Welsh accents.

He was an important influence on the young lamentables.

How can you not love Ivor the Engine? All that lovely cotton-wool steam, and dragons, and Welsh choirs, and railways?

My icons are in mourning.

I'd forgotten the Welsh choirs! Maybe I'll have another look...
