Erithacus Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 A huge chunk of some people's past has fallen. Peter Firmin, one of the creators behind such inescapable telly of yore, has died aged 89. Along with The Saga of Noggin the Nog, Ivor the Engine, The Clangers, Bagpuss and Pogles Wood, he was part of Smallfilms with the late Oliver Postgate. Firmin's wife knitted the Clangers and one of his daughters, Emily, was the girl in Bagpuss. Another odd fact was that Bagpuss was sent to a craftsperson in Kent who managed to make the old cloth cat with a strange pink yarn - not the ginger that was ordered. The colours remained, and featured in only the few episodes that were made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Coupled with the recent loss of Squadron Leader Geoffrey Wellum this week, it's been a rough time for RAF veterans. Indeed, both were of a special breed (the like of which seems scarce today) and it appears clear that with people like them, Hitler stood no chance. We have much to thank thank them for: our world exists over the one that was planned by the lights of a perverted science. Somewhat ironic after the national showing of the film 'Spitfire' earlier.

According to some media reports, the poor girl committed suicide. How awful that, at 18 years old, a top-class athlete and a potential representative at the next Olympic Games, one feels that life is too much. Whatever was going through that poor girl's head must have been something quite traumatic; something that I hope nobody close to me ever experiences.
