Kent: Bagpuss creator’s son to celebrate centenary with talks

He added: “He was a bit like Mr Pogle, Noggin the Nog, Jones the Steam and of course Major Clanger the inventor.”

Mr Postgate’s show Clangers, which featured knitted characters living on the moon, first broadcast in November 1969, a few months after the first moon landing.

His son said: “For the Clangers, it begins with me opening the front door and finding my dad with the room completely dark except for the curtains, which were drawn, and he was looking out at the full moon in the night sky and listening to Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon at full volume.”

He explained how he gave his father the idea for the series after telling him about a giant that lived on the dark side of the moon and drank soup from the middle with a straw.
