Oliver Postgate, goodbye.

Farewell my constant friend in childhood. You remain my generation’s genius. Amidst all the Ben 10 mania, my son is still devoted to your work. Watching Ivor the Engine with him will be a memory I will treasure. Thank you.

That’s very sad. I met him when I was a kid (he lived near us in Canterbury I think) and got a signed Noggin the Nog book.

Well said Tom. One of our family’s best TV moments last week was when our Tom did a top drawer Ivor the Engine (Sssshhhdekuff… shdekuf) impression. And it was all done by the man himself in an old railway carriage. Reminds me of when we had an Empire!!!
