    Probably won't mean anything to anyone apart from UK members who are between 40 and 25 but Oliver Postgate died today. For the people who don't know who Oliver Postgate is, he was the creator of such great childrens tv programs including Bagpuss, Ivor the Engine and The Clangers.

    The mice of the mouse organ were the best part of bagpuss. :)

    It was sad news indeed. My Mum's best friend was friends with, and worked with Oliver and Peter. I didn't get to meet Oliver, but Peter was very nice to me and let me hold the Clangers and Bagpuss.

    He will be missed by many. RIP Oliver.
