I thought I would put up a mention for the passing away of a giant in British kids television, Oliver Postgate, who died this week.
Story on the BBC here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7772620.stm
He was well known for producing such great kids tv as Ivor The Engine, Bagpuss, and I still think his seminal work, The Clangers.
The Clangers, I believe shows alien life in its most alien form: small woollen creatures who live on small moons far out there in the cosmos, transport themselves about the universe in boats propelled by music, and who eat soup ... a lot of soup.
The programme itself looks like it was made many millennia ago, and is documentary and raw in its form, and some think it may have formed the starting point for Stephen Bassett's disclosure movement.
See here for The Clangers on youtube:
Rest In Peace, Oliver Postgate, you disturbed a lot of us small children with your terribly strange imagination, and we became better people for it.
