Episode 8 Meeting the original Bagpuss! /

My Crochet Bagpuss [Jazzypuss] is FINISHED! And in this episode, I take him to meet the Original Bagpuss who was first seen on our UK TV screens on the 12th February 1974!
The talented artists behind Bagpuss - Oliver Postgate & Peter Firmin created many characters that have become a firm fixture of Children’s TV and have inspired countless artists as a result.
Join me on a Creative Adventure to Canterbury to see just some of the original characters and artworks from this heart-warming stop-motion animated films.

Working from a farmyard in Kent, Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin produced some of the best-loved childrens’ television of the 1960s and 1970s, including Bagpuss, The Clangers, Ivor The Engine and Noggin The Nog. This book presents the Smallfilms archive - the puppets and cut-outs from these series, along with insights into how they were made. It’s a book full of pipe cleaners, cotton wool, wire and ping-pong balls, and celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of two brilliant artists who shaped the childhoods of a generation.

We share a love of Bagpuss and now I am planning a trip to the museum. Didn't watch the whole video as didn't want to spoil my visit.

Excellent!! Double check with the museum as to when the exhibition is on until, as when I last checked it was on until 'at least' the end of July and they might have extended it, so don't want you to miss it!
