Peter Firmin, the famed co-creator of Bagpuss, Basil Brush and the Clangers, has died aged 89.
Firmin’s most popular creation with Postgate was Bagpuss, which was voted the most popular BBC children’s programme ever made in 1999.
Firmin helped create various popular children’s TV shows, helping bring to life Noggin the Nog and Ivor the Engine, working primarily with longtime collaborator Oliver Postgate.
Firmin leaves behind wife Joan, six daughters, eleven grandchildren, and several great-grandchildren.
