From their launch in mid-year 2004 our Bagpuss figurines have become firm favourites amongst our collectors. For your interest this is the history of the character.

Bagpuss was devised and created by the brilliant minds of Oliver Postgate and Peter Firman, who also created Noggin the Nog, The Clangers, Ivor the Engine and Pogle's Wood.

Oliver Postage not only wrote Bagpuss but also provided some of the voice-overs. Peter Firman 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 has been so popular that the series has been repeated 27 times to successive generations.

In 1999 Bagpuss was named the country's favourite BBC children's programme of all times, beating off the challenge of more modern television programmes such as the Teletubbies.
