Peter Firmin RIP

[Doc Hudson]

Although maybe not a name immediately recognisable, if instead one said "Bagpuss", "Clangers", "Ivor the Engine", "Basil Brush", then those of a certain age would know straight away that one of the key influences of their childhood has now passed away aged 89. The man who created the visual images and puppet and animation character hero's of a reasonable chunk of our forum memebrs.   RIP Peter Firmin, a very talented man.   https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/clangers-creator-peter-firmin-dies-aged-89/ar-AAzqlrF?MSCC=1530489285&ocid=spartanntp
