Sad news this morning, although well into his 80s I guess Oliver Postgate had had a decent run at life, and possibly is checking out at a good time, a decade or so before things go really tits up.
Anyway, this is just the product of a desire to pay tribute not just to his wonderful children's programmes (I remember with particular love Bagpuss, Ivor the Engine, the Clangers and Noggin the Nog) but also his staunch political stands - on climate change, on pacifism, and on unpopular topics such as the idea that the West should buy up the Afghan poppy crop to take it out of the hands of the world's various drug barons whilst also giving Afghan farmers a livelihood.
