Best tribute ever. You can tell that Charlie's not a mean, rancourous man at all; he's just absolutely right and honest when he vents spleen on the cynical mental abuse that masquerades as TV and especially children's TV today. He is a good, decent man, as Postgate was.

Charlie has one thing that makes hima great critic, he's honest. Thanks Charlie for making this may all your troubles be little ones.

I hope Charlie is remembered as well as this.

Such a wonderful tribute, to the great Oliver Postgate, man I've only got Bagpuss & the clangers series 1 on DVD :( but I got them in a boxset out of my local Co-op for £5.99 :), still looking for Ivor the engine on DVD tho :/

To this day, I can still perform the Professor Yaffle impression I have been working on for the last 38 years.
This is truly a beautiful tribute to a wonderful storyteller.

@Sindre1 if it makes you feel better, i actually loved pokemon too. Sadly, i was like 20 when pokemon came out tho. Sad...

@an1m4l I was with you until you started bashing Pokemon.
Pokemon was amazing!

wow, can you imagine any kids tv nowadays opening with words as well written and intelligent as the clip from the clangers in this vid? Kids tv nowadays treats kids like theyre all hyper ADHD lunatics. This still was so mellow and lovely. Like it stimulates a kids intelligence rather than just numbing them with explosions and pocket monsters or whatever

When I was little, I had a video of various children's cartoons (e.g Superted, Postman Pat, Paddington Bear) and Ivor the Engine was amongst my favourites, because it managed to surpass the warmth of all the others. Bagpuss and the like were before my time (I was born in 1987), but even through clips like these I can see exactly what Charlie means. I'm tempted to hunt down the entire series of Bagpuss and buy it on a childish whim.

Do it! I've seen The Complete Bagpuss on DVD in the bargain bin at my local UK Blockbuster many times. They over buy and then sell them cheaply. It's in a funny little red case with a handle on it. It's worth 10 times the selling price for memories and nostalgic, fuzzy moments.
