Tell you what, if kids watched Mr. Benn, Bagpuss and the like instead of those shows that encourage them to dance, sing and beat sodding pots and pans together, they wouldn't be so f#cking annoying.
WHAT?! They stopped the wombles, the clangers, AND bagpuss?! D: Three of the best kids shows ever ever EVER?! How dare they! And now they're re-done thomas the tank engine and postman pat and noddy too! They've ruined childrens TV! D':
Nationality does not matter in the bonds between child and childs programme. :c Come hither and mourn for our lost shows, for they were legends in our eyes.
This was good, honest, wholesome entertainment directed to the under 5's. Not that the under 5's were the only ones to watch, of course. I spent many days of past Summer holidays watching such programmes at 1.45pm before BBC1 returned to a, 'trade test transmission.' It kind of gave you a warm, comforting feeling inside after watching such shows, which lasted you through the afternoons, ready for 4pm when the afternoon programmes started. Nostalgic, maybe. But, it was all good clean fun.

Didn't you see the final episode? Emily gets arrested and sent to prison. A caption following the closing credits details her downward spiral into drugs and prostitution, while all the toy animals slowly rotted away, their remains pecked and scavenged by Professor Yaffle.
LOL......just as well justice was done. As well as stealing all that lost property I think it's highly unlikely that Emily paid rates on the shop or had any sort of commercial liability insurance...these are serious charges in themselves!
Fuck "Smoke On The Water". This theme is the first thing I learned to play on guitar. BuddyFantastic, I concur. I just turned 40 and I still well-up when I hear / see this.
I read with dismay that the BBC is intending to re-make Bagpuss No doubt they'll destroy the appeal of the original series with their trendy use of bad language and explicit sex. Well, I for one have no desire to see a 3-D Proffessor Yaffle and Gabriel the Toad spit-roasting Madeline the ragdoll whilst Bagpuss masterbates, culminating in a bukkake cum-bath featuring the mice off the mouse organ. Why can't these people keep their filthy ideas to themselves and leave this innocent programme alone?
Trust me, the remade series will be full of Somalians, Poles, Romanians, and of course, a Black Welsh Lesbian- in - a Wheelchair- just to represent the British...
@tonto666ehg Are you serious lol. If anything, people have become way more stiff, prudish and obessed with political corectness as the years have gone on. Remember Noddy was banned because he was apparently gay? No. If anything. This show will lose all of its' naive pervertedness and become a shiny, bleached Playschool-look-alike.
@tonto666ehg - as serious as your view clearly is, I can't help but admit that I chuckled slightly at your description... in fact, I practically guffawed!
@tonto666ehg The reason 'they' wont leave this alone is because 'they' wont be finished until our people have been truned into a mindless mass and our race destroyed.
@tonto666ehg That's going to be absolutely horrible, as a 25 year old who grew up with Bagpuss. I feel the charm is that there is not anything as innocent as Bagpuss. CBeebies have already ruined Bill & Ben, Andy Pandy and Muffin the Mule with crude CGI.
The last thing we need is modern day kids, looking up the original version of their new favourite show and comparing the show with the newer monstrosity.
R.I.P. Oliver. The man was indeed a genius. My sincere condolences to the Postgate family. He kept creating TV gold. Only in England could anyone like that have existed. I've heard that they are thinking or remaking Bagpuss very soon. I certainly hope not! CGI will never replace stop-motion animation in my eyes. Leave Bagpuss alone, or it will be desecrating a sacred part of TV history! And so Oliver closed his eyes and settled down to sleep...
OH SHOCK HORROR... Pliver Postgate had died..no more Bagpuss ever... As a bona fide Bagpuss fan I will miss the master of voices and brilliant stories..Ivor the Engine, the Clangers, Noggin the Nog, Poggles Wood.. All brilliant and now must be savoured..:(
Oliver Postgate, that kindly uncle that created my age group and showed us a nicer way of life, there is a new star in the sky tonight smiling on all of us.

Didn't they recently find the 14th episode of Bagpuss? Apparently it featured the Hamish coming back and dropping Miss Emily's head at the feet of Bagpuss? And Madeleine got so shocked she fell off her chair and onto the gas fire sending the who shop up in flames. Boy! What a episode that would have been to watch. ;-)
Row, row, row the boat, heavily down the stairs, bingledy bangledy bongledy bumpety, down the apples and pears ! I still sing that to my son. It's taken from the ballerina shoe episode when 2 mice were looking for the Stilton cheese, I love it.
Nostalgic program. still have fond memories after so many years. British TV produced so many wonderful childrens programs (Mr. Ben, Playschool, the wombles, Button moon) etc
aaaaah good times... i LUV its intro, makes me feel all nostalgic, everything is sepia tone in my head, from my mum fedding me, to me playing with my friends
Professor Yaffle was a carved wooden bookend in the shape of a woodpecker. Even Bagpuss himself once he was asleep was just an old, saggy cloth cat ... I used to have to fight my older sister to watch this - ah happy memories;)
