Just heard the very sad news that children's TV genius Oliver Postgate has just died. That's really sad. His work was the backdrop to my childhood and we've been indoctrinating our own children in the Postgate-way since they were born. I flippin' love reading Ivor the Engine stories to our boys and can't read them without adopting the narrator's superbly atmospheric intonations.
The Guardian have a good YouTube tribute.
