Goodbye Mr Postgate

The first voice I remember other than my parents. Noggin the Nog (when it was on Blue Peter) was on the TV when my baby sister was brought home from hospital, my first memory aged 4. Gentleness, sucky blankets, coal fires and dippy eggs.






A real gent and a very British genius.

I remember a story about the time Jim Henson died. A little girl saw a picture of Kermit in the New York Times.

"Kermit's not dead, is he?" she asked.

"No," said her dad, "but the man who made him is."

"Oh that's OK then."
