Review date: 2008-05-15 Rating: 10 out of 10

Petend you have kids, I bought this because I am a bagpuss fan and even though I am 36 and was single when I bought this I was not discouraged. It brought back my childhood and triggered many great memories of the 70's when my late mother would watch bagpuss with me, heck even my dad likes it. It even helped me nab a girlfriend as after I told her "just because I own the Complete Bagpuss on DVD, I am not a soft touch!" mind you As I work in a nursery this may play a Part.
Bagpuss is Briliant

A pocketful of charm
Review date: 2008-03-16 Rating: 10 out of 10

There's an economy of expression and a gentle warmth that lifts Oliver Postgate's work to a kind of poetry. Bagpuss is no exception, and is a pleasure to watch with your little ones (who'll love it). All the elements of childhood are captured here: the innocence, fascination, and imagination that transform the everyday into something magical. There's none of the Disney saccharine sweetness, either, that can set adult teeth on edge. Each episode is a satisfyingly complete package, with Emily bringing some little lost thing for Bagpuss and his friends to identify and renew. Each friend has his or her own distinct personality, from crotchety Professor Yaffle to clever little Charley Mouse. A story and a little song help the charming detective work along. The good-natured work ends with the small item being placed in the shop window, ready to be reunited with its lost owner. Entertaining, without talking down to its audience. Free of teen-speak and violence. Toddler TV at its very best.

Timeless smallness
Review date: 2007-03-29 Rating: 10 out of 10

Tonight my four-year-old son watched three episodes of Bagpuss on DVD. I had tried to get him to watch this last year, but he wasn't interested. This time, he was enchanted. Thank goodness I now know that there's nothing wrong with him!

Bagpuss is quite possibly the best children's TV programme ever made. There's something magical about it. Some of the animation looks quite basic nowadays, but it doesn't harm the show at all. The sheer escapism, not to mention the intelligent respect for the viewers (contrast much of the current cBeebies output), and the beautiful smallness of it all are probably the key ingredients. It is utterly timeless, and universally appealing to younger children.

I don't know whether Oliver Postgate and his associates ever won an award for this little piece of wonder, but they really should have.

Dear Saggy Old Cloth Cat Puss
Review date: 2007-02-06 Rating: 10 out of 10

Sometimes one remembers the programmes with one's youth with a rosy glow but upon revisiting a programme is sadly disappointed. I remember vividly being excited at the prospect of Bagpuss coming on the television when I was a child and so I decided to invest in the DVD.I already have oodles of Bagpuss stuff (Bagpuss hot water bottle cover, singing mice etc), but wanted to see if the old programmes still held up.

They do.

Utterly brilliant as usual from Postgate and Firmin, well drawn out stories and characters and beautiful animation.

Buy it for a child of today, or just yourself.

I as well as Emily, love him.

Emily, we love Bagpuss too
Review date: 2007-01-30 Rating: 10 out of 10

I do because I'm the member of our family who watched this perfect production when I was a kid. But the magic is that my American wife and kids love Bagpuss too. There's something so wonderfully captivating about the gentleness of the characters and storytelling that even my 3-year-old twins sit perfectly still, episode after episode, to watch this saggy old cloth cat. Just two days after we bought this DVD my son was quoting most of the introduction. This purchase is one you don't need to think twice about.
