Robert Harrop Bagpuss BGCP Bagpuss Collection Plaque

Description

The Bagpuss Collection Plaque figurine from the classic children's television series, faithfully recreated by Robert Harrop Designs, manufacturers of quality figurines for over 25 years. Bagpuss was devised and created by the brilliant minds of Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin, who also created Noggin The Nog, The Clangers, Ivor the Engine and Pogle's Wood. Oliver Postgate not only wrote Bagpuss but also provided some of the voice- overs. Peter Firmin said: "I created the visual character of Bagpuss after I had the idea of a cat with visible thoughts, but it was Oliver who breathed life into the creation by supplying his thoughts and voice". Bagpuss was first shown in 1974 in Watch With Mother. Although only 13 episodes were made, the programme was so popular that the series was repeated 27 times to successive generations.
