I just learned the guy responsible for the video link in the article passed away.
Oliver Postgate, a guy responsible for creating a good number of children's programmes in the UK passed away - either today or yesterday: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7772620.stm

One of his creations: Bagpuss - I definitely remember as a child, and I found a full episode on Youtube for you to enjoy (they're only about 7-8 minutes long at a time)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzI_xAIrg0A

They will never make children's progammes like this ever again.

RIP Mr. Postgate. I never knew you, but I appreciated your work.

Mark.
