[moduser]

Fondly remembered.

I was seriously tempted to put this in latest news however for those of us of a certain age - which actually covers a broad span in time - have a look here

Bagpuss dear Bagpuss - the wifes still got the soft toy. Personally I prefered Ivor The Engine & the Clangers; now that's really showing my age.

The Clangers was one of my favourite programmes.

And you could always understand what they were talking about.

And when Bagpuss went to sleep, all his friends went to sleep

Rest ye gentle

Bagpuss, Bagpuss, great big furry catpuss, wake up and look at this thing that I bring... He may have been just an old cloth cat, saggy and a bit loose at the seams, but everyone loved him.

Man, I loved all those shows. And he wasn't trying to sell anything.

'Scuse me. I think I've got something in my eye...

Glad someone else knew what they were saying,either that or everyone else was afraid to admit it.
