I’ve just come online to see some very sad news. If you’re a British person of a certain age like, me, you’ll probably have grown up watching Bagpuss, Ivor The Enginge and The Clangers. All these, and other programmes, were created and narrated by the lovely Oliver Postgate, who has died aged 83. He had the most wonderful voice and whenever I saw him interviewed on TV he seemed to have retained a lovely, almost childlike, enthusiasm for playing around with puppets and making silly voices.

I hope the BBC considers showing some old episodes of his programmes, as I think this would be the perfect way to remember a lovely, creative man.
