Oliver Postgate

Another life well lived. I doubt there’s a person alive over 30 in this country who didn’t sit enthralled by one of Postgate’s creations at some time or other. Imagine touching that many lives in such an amazing way.

Here’s my favourite Bagpuss episode. The bit where the rest of the mice try to shove poor little Charlie Mouse into the bottle always makes me laugh. And Charlie had a very natty checked suit.

And I like the idea that Bagpuss had seen the world before settling down.

    Ah, but is there truly Renewal through Carousel, or is it just misguided belief held by those approaching their Lastday?
