 | Bagpuss soft toy and musical mice
Bagpuss is a popular 1974 UK children's television series, made by Smallfilms. It is fondly and widely remembered, despite the fact that only 13 episodes were ever made.Each programme would begin the same way: Through a series of sepia photographs, we are told of a little girl named Emily (played by Emily Firmin, the daughter of the illustrator Peter Firmin), who owned a shop. The shop didn't sell anything, however - instead, Emily would find lost and broken things and display them in the window of the shop, so that their owners could one day come and collect them. She would leave the object in front of her favourite stuffed toy - a large, saggy, pink and white striped cat named Bagpuss. |
