Yay!
13 episodes? Surely that can't be right? Perhaps we need to lobby Brian Cant to do some more?
Most of those series of our pasts were limited like that - we were just happy to watch them over and over! Bagpuss, Mr Benn, etc
I've read that Gordon thingy who made the Trumptonshire Trilogy burnt the models in a fit of something or other, and only one original Pippin Fort soldier survives.
I saw Brian Cant on telly a while back, and he's got very old. Even his voice was old, and voices often don't change so much.
I wonder if we (I'm thinking those of us in our 40s, who grew up with these shows in the 60's and 70's) were the first to have such a rich variety of programmes and performers due to mass TV ownership, and consequently the trauma of seeing our childhood heroes pass on...
Sorry, that's not Good News really is it. I must be in pensive mood.
I've met Peter Firmin, and thanked him. Alas, Oliver Postgate, who should have been there the same evening, was unwell, so I didn't get the chance to do the same with him. But I did meet Mrs Firmin, who knitted the Clangers.
