His voice must be my main link back to my childhood. Noggin the Nog launched me into reading.

A sad loss - Noggin the Nog and Ivor The Engine were classics of my childhood TV viewing and the Clangers were just great 
Just been onto my Bro's poetry forum to find he'd penned this tribute:
Oliver Postgate
British as a windy day
Or mash that goes with bangers,
Olly Postgate's passed away,
The man who made the Clangers.
Bagpuss was a cat we knew
Who had a bright pink tinge in
Cloth fur and I must mention too
The great Ivor the Engine.
Noggin the Nog on every week,
Us kids were so elated,
Each character was so unique
That Oliver created.

Bring back the days of kids entertainment that didn't rely on farts/snot/product placement or tacky prizes
Just drug references - Mr Benn, Magic Roundabout etc

Some strange references in Pugwash too.
I also liked the Herbs.

The Pugwash stuff was urban myth unfortunately
There never was a "Roger the Cabin Boy", "Master Bates" or "Seaman Staines"
Shame
