Again, I'm late with the news. But to be honest the only person it might affect is Monster, given that the person in question was very English and his death was well noted here.

Oliver Postgate - the Telegraph obituary.

I loved his work. He had such a comforting and distinctive voice. It hid a remarkable intelligence and artistic drive of course, but as a child I didn't notice that. I just loved what he created and how it sounded. I can still quote the Bagpuss intro by heart.

Bagpuss, dear Bagpuss
Old fat furry cat-puss,
Wake up and look at this thing that I bring.
Wake up, be bright,
Be golden and light;
Bagpuss, oh hear what I sing.

I have it on video - I might ask my bro if there's a way to transfer it to DVD. Every episode is so simple, so complex and so very shining. Ask anyone of my generation what the Marvellous Magnificant Mouse Mill made and I'm pretty sure they'll be able to tell you it was chocolate biscuits. Out of breadcrumbs and butter beans no less.

He gave so much joy, I hope he went happily.
