Assessment comments

How about a list of the episode titles, perhaps with a brief synopsis of what happened in each one? My favourite was the mouse mill one, although they were nearly all excellent. Magnus 18:03 Apr 15, 2003 (UTC)

This article needs a rewrite, I feel. The main bit's remained virtually unchanged since the original version from January 2002, and, as a result, several bits are still very hokey and 'sweet'. BillyH 16:34, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Rewrite it, then! Honestly. UrbaneLegend 10:42, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
I wasn't sure I could, it looked pretty tricky (hence me asking here). You've done a great job, though, thanks! BillyH 14:06, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Shame. I liked the old version :-) --Khendon 20:19, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
I know what you mean. It's hard not to be sentimental about a programme as wonderful as Bagpuss, but we do have to be encyclopedic! UrbaneLegend 02:35, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

'distantly based, it is said, on the philosopher Bertrand Russell'. Anyone find a reference for this? Steve

Oliver Postgate said this himself during an episode of the BBC Radio 4 documentary series Trumpton Riots in December 1995.
