Review of Bagpuss

Bagpuss (1974)
Is there still magic in kids' TV?
30 August 2001
Bagpuss - as with all Smallfilms productions - has aged beautifully, retaining all the charm and magic it had three decades ago. There were only 13 episodes, but it still stands out as a true classic of children's entertainment in the UK.

Bagpuss, The Clangers, Noggin The Nog and Ivor The Engine worked because of an immense investment of imagination from creators Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin. Their work was truly magical - a blessing that today's TV seems to lack.

In 30 years time, will any of today's kids' shows be remembered as fondly?
