Colour me very disappointed for the lack of orbituaries for Rumen Petkov.
Ah ballsā¦

I only know Basil Brush, because a clip from that showed up in a Doctor Who dvd!
I have partied with Emily, sheās lovely. Wasnāt at her place though so I have yet to meet Bagpuss and the rest.
There canāt be a British person around my age who isnāt a fan of at least one of Firminās shows, Bagpuss and The Clangers being my favourites; that man was definitely a positive influence on the world.

Iāve just found the Clangers election special too.
I donāt know how accuratly this represents Oliver Postgateās and Peter Firminās political views, but Postgateās grandfather was George Lansbury, leader of the Labour party and his uncle was Edgar Lansbury, who was the Communist Party of Great Britain mayor of Poplar (and father of Angela Lansbury).
