oliver postgate film on bbc4

[jeep]

very sweet but what was that just on!

The Pogles? I'd never heard of them.
Love love love Noggin the Nog, and DS's adore Ivor. The dvd is on almost everyday!

ah must have been, before my time

Tottie!!!!

OMG! I loved Tottie, but it was so sad too!

Do you thin k this will be on iplayer? Would love to see it...

its lovely, DH and i are sat here like a pair of old fogeys going 'ooooh, they don't make them like that anymore' and shaking aour heads in dismay

I really really enjoyed that.

I've now been on Youtube and found some Tottie and Pinny clips. I'm feeling all misty-eyed...

The Pogles looked fab with their fairies and witches (which were dumbed down in the later series by all accounts). Never heard of them before though...

it is repeated on BBC4 @ about 2.30am

It is on Iplayer - i had to catch up as turned on to see the last 10 minutes.

Ooh, thank you blithedance! [Smile]

I was a Pogle fan! Shown in the mid-60s. They are a family living in the woods, Mr & Mrs Pogle, Pippin, (child) and Tog (not sure what Tog is!)
Took me right back just hearing Oliver Postgate's voice.

I love all their stuff, and remember Pogles Wood very well (I am ancient).

A work colleague once rang me during a break during a big conference in the States to ask if I remembered the name of the big bird in Noggin the Nog.

Tottie used to give me nightmares (I still can't stand dolls) but I loved Bagpuss and ds (3) has just discovered the joy of Ivor the Engine.

I know that I'm really out of date but I find today's computerised animation so soul-less . Oh dear, a cream sherry and my slippers beckon!
