Poor Bagpuss

[SarzWix]

Oh, I missed this RIP a very great man...
I've got a Noggin the Nog video all my kids watched when they were little, and a compilation vid of Bagpuss, The CLangers, Chorlton & the Wheelies etc. Absolute genius, he leaves a fantastic legacy though.

Hey, welcome back kiddo!

Chorlton & the Wheelies were SCAREY

glad to see your lil accident hasn't affected your typing, watch that nighty now

[nelliegemini]

seems he wrote the Clanger script in English and then had it translated using a whistle - darn clever!

Oh yes, Noggin also yaaaaay for top drawer repeats

Noggin, yes. They kept forgetting Noggin on the readio this morning, and each time the bloke said Clangers, Bagpuss, Ivor the Engine, the girl chipped in 'and Noggin the Nog'.

[Comfreyfan]

I used to love the noise of Ivor the Engine setting off - it's my only impression!!

I can do the soupdragon.

"Do" him? In what sense ?

talk like him duh!!

although..................could do him in a nice stew

[Flummery]

Well, I only wondered!

[pigletwillie]

I have a dvd with all the bagpuss episodes on. Quality.

[Flummery]

My secret fave is Noggin. I love the Saga quality (NOT THE PENSIONERS!) - the Norse Edda thing. It is SO well done.

And of course the Clangers.

I used to love Cloppa Castle as a kid apparently - that and Bod.

[Flummery]

My Jenny - 3 years older then you - liked Bod. I thought it was wierd!

I used to get quite excited wondering which flavour milk the frog would have - chocolate, or strawberry! Little minds eh.

We still say "The Elephants were right!" on suitable occasions.
