Even Bagpuss himself, once he was asleep, was just an old, saggy cloth cat, baggy, and a bit loose at the seams,
But Emily loved him.

Dem feels mang!

That show terrified me as a small child. I used to hide behind the couch when it came on. When I was finally able for it, I loved it.

From the Wiki entry:

The Soup Dragon: a benign (female) creature with a penchant for Green Soup. The Soup Dragon dwells in the soup wells within >the Clangers' planet, she is often summoned by tapping on the top of what look like small inactive volcanoes, she slides the lid >back and then takes a jug from (usually) small clanger which she then fills for them to eat. A green glow is visible beneath her when she emerges, suggesting some kind of energy source down there.

&
Episode 26 "The Music of the Spheres". Are you scared yet?

This feels like the first time I saw Bananas in Pyjamas in Australia - a glimpse into the shared childhood of a slightly different culture. ;)

Awesome. Thanks!

Thanks for linking this. time to Soup Dragon it up.

Okay... so I'd never heard that expression before. I googled it, and I'm even MORE confused about what you meant.

I assumed I'd find some sort of video download app - but that's not what turned up.

Nice, thanks Pete! (reply)

I love that his kid wants him to jump down every hole they find. Shame that you can't actually do that without dying… :(

Guardian Radio has a past broadcast on Twitch with an hour of Moon. I'm only about 15 minutes in, but Turks is doing a great job of taking it slow and exploring, looking around.

First 4 minutes or so are waiting for the event to open.

Go and live vicariously.
