Timeless smallness.......2007-03-29

Tonight my four-year-old son watched three episodes of Bagpuss on DVD. I had tried to get him to watch this last year, but he wasn't interested. This time, he was enchanted. Thank goodness I now know that there's nothing wrong with him!

Bagpuss is quite possibly the best children's TV programme ever made. There's something magical about it. Some of the animation looks quite basic nowadays, but it doesn't harm the show at all. The sheer escapism, not to mention the intelligent respect for the viewers (contrast much of the current cBeebies output), and the beautiful smallness of it all are probably the key ingredients. It is utterly timeless, and universally appealing to younger children.

I don't know whether Oliver Postgate and his associates ever won an award for this little piece of wonder, but they really should have.

Dear Saggy Old Cloth Cat Puss.......2007-02-06

Sometimes one remembers the programmes with one's youth with a rosy glow but upon revisiting a programme is sadly disappointed. I remember vividly being excited at the prospect of Bagpuss coming on the television when I was a child and so I decided to invest in the DVD.I already have oodles of Bagpuss stuff (Bagpuss hot water bottle cover, singing mice etc), but wanted to see if the old programmes still held up.

They do.

Utterly brilliant as usual from Postgate and Firmin, well drawn out stories and characters and beautiful animation.

Buy it for a child of today, or just yourself.

I as well as Emily, love him.

Emily, we love Bagpuss too.......2007-01-31

I do because I'm the member of our family who watched this perfect production when I was a kid. But the magic is that my American wife and kids love Bagpuss too. There's something so wonderfully captivating about the gentleness of the characters and storytelling that even my 3-year-old twins sit perfectly still, episode after episode, to watch this saggy old cloth cat. Just two days after we bought this DVD my son was quoting most of the introduction. This purchase is one you don't need to think twice about.

I felt 5 yrs old again!.......2005-04-26

What can i say, this is the most superb trip down memory lane for all bagpuss fans, it's also kind of cool to see your own kids watch something you did at that age...after a few minutes it all comes flooding back..all the words to all the silly songs by the mice and gabriel the toad.
so, i will leave you to ponder my description and while I go back to irritating the kids by singing along to bagpuss :-D

Wonderful nostalgia.......2004-02-24

Great to see Bagpuss on DVD. For a programme that's over thirty years old, the quality is superb - I certainly wouldn't waste my money on the VHS version which will only last a year or two before being chewed up in the video player!
