To celebrate the release of Bagpuss, available to own from 9th October on DVD and Blu-Ray, we are giving away Blu-Rays to 2 lucky winners!
Bagpuss was first seen on British television on 12th February 1974. Only 13 episodes were ever made, but the programme has remained popular down the generations and was voted the all-time favourite children’s programme in 1999. Join Emily and friends as she wakes Bagpuss once again, now fully restored in high definition, from the film negatives.
This charming children’s stop motion animation was made by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin, starring the “saggy old cloth cat” Bagpuss. Postgate and Firmin’s production company Smallfilms created some of the most loved children’s programmes from 1959 until the 80s, working from a disused cowshed at Firmin’s home in Blean, near Canterbury. As well as Bagpuss they made Pogle’s Wood, The Clangers, Ivor the Engine and Noggin the Nog.
Bagpuss lives in a “shop” belonging to a girl called Emily where nothing is for sale. Emily brings home broken or lost toys which she puts in the window of her shop where Bagpuss sleeps. When Emily leaves, Bagpuss awakes along with his friends Professor Yaffle, Gabriel Croaker (of the “Tea Time Toads”), Madeleine the rag doll and the musical mice on their magical mouse organ.
