It wasn't Oliver Postgate being on Desert Island Discs this morning that led to my finding his delightful (though infrequently updated) blog, because I didn't know about that until after I'd been reminiscing in another place about such delights as Noggin the Nog and Bagpuss.
They were low-tech animations, made lovingly by Postgate and his collaborator Peter Firmin on a tiny budget, and they were some of the most enduring memories of childhood, staying ion the mind long after more sophisticated productions.
I know some readers of this journal find my views of the entertainment industry somewhat bizarre and reactionary, so I was very pleased to find Oliver Postgate expressing my thoughts exactly. I couldn't put them better than this.
