IN the Canterbury museum, a large part of it is given over to Smallfilms (run from a barn just outside town); most of the original models are there (as well as the original Basil Brush), and it's well worth a visit for people of a certain age, reminding you of just how much of my mental furniture was rented from Mr Postgate as a child.
On the other hand, my partner once treated Oliver Postgate in hospital, and he was foul to her. But being the man behind Bagpuss gets you a lot of latitude as goes my opinion of someone. So yes, he will be missed.
Oh, that *is* sad news. I met him very briefly years (decades) ago at a CND rally he addressed in Exeter. His address was brilliant; he seemed charming.
