Like, ‘you have to experience this’.Īlthough I did ask her about the Pogles and she didn’t remember it apart from being apparently quite unnerved by their big black round eyes. And I remember she rented a video of The Clangers, for us to watch as kids. My mum grew up with Postgate and Firmin’s work, so I associate all of these programmes with her because she loves them. Other voice: Where were you born, Graculus? Graculus: I don’t know.)Īdam: So what about you, did you watch Bagpuss when you were young? But I know that over there to the right of the sun there’s a grove of tall green trees around a lake of salt water, and there are fish in the lake, blue fish. (Clip of Noggin the Nog: Oliver Postgate as Graculus: Dreamed it? perhaps I did. (Clip of intro to Noggin the Nog: Oliver Postgate as narrator: ‘In the lands of the North where the black rocks stand guard against the cold sea, in the dark night which is very long, the men of the north lands sit by their great log fires and they tell a tale’)Īdam: It has quite a sleepy, dreamlike tone to it. And I also had Noggin the Nog on audio cassette, which I’d listen to on car journeys, and I associate it with falling in and out of sleep on long car journeys. So usually I watched The Clangers, many many times. But in children’s horror of its own, I couldn’t really cope with the end sequence, the bald mountain sequence was far too rich for my blood.
Because it had classical music, so I thought it was edifying. It was either that or Fantasia, and I watched Fantasia when I thought I ought to watch something educational. If cosy horror is a thing? Aw, cosy horror.Īdam: But Firmin and Postgate’s stuff was quite a big fixture of my childhood, so I used to watch The Clangers on VHS tape when I’d go and visit my grandparents. Ren: On the 1st July, and he was an artist and puppet maker who worked with Oliver Postgate on Bagpuss, Noggin the Nog, The Clangers, and The Pogles and Pogle’s Wood, which we thought might be the most scary?Īdam: Yeah, I mean I probably should have predicted that most of Firmin and Postgate’s stuff is very cosy. Ren: I think you suggested this one because Peter Firmin died recently.
