Bagpuss - The Complete Bagpuss (DVD)

...like there were loads more Bagpuss episodes on than the 13 which were actually made as they were repeated so often over those years but the repeats didn't matter as the characters were so endearing and magical. The words which started each episode were always the same:- 'Once upon a time not so long ago there was a little girl and her name was Emily and she had a shop.' The idea was that it was a shop which didn't sell anything but was a lost ...
...needed the magic powers of Bagpuss and his friends. She brought him to life with the magical words:- 'Bagpuss, dear Bagpuss, Old fat furry cat-puss, Wake up and look at this thing that I bring, Wake up, be bright, Be golden and light, Bagpuss, Oh hear what I sing.' This made not only Bagpuss waken up but his weird and wonderful friends too. They were Gabriel, the strange toad who plays the banjo, Professor Yaffle, the wooden book end woodpecker, ...

Review of Bagpuss - The Complete Bagpuss (DVD)

Bagpuss can, in my jaded, nostalgic, dew filled eyes, do no wrong. The pink striped moggy is the epitome of all things wise and beautiful. If you have children, go out and buy this, if you don't have children, have some and then go out and buy this, if you won't, can't or don't have time for children, go out and buy this and watch it anyway, its great. Why? Why is it great? Its about a little girl called Emily who loves her scruffy old cloth cat ...
...Yattle the know all woodpecker, Bagpuss yawns into activity, the mouse on the mouse organ sing shrilly "we will fix it" and mend things and magic abounds across your TV screen. If you are , in any small way, alive, you WILL love this. It has that elusive quality of wonderment that will enthrall the young and remind the old how it was to be young once. Each episode concentrates on a toy, a story is told about it, then it is generally mended by the ...

Review of Bagpuss - The Complete Bagpuss (DVD)

...longer) would be great. Bagpuss was on and I wasn’t going to move my eyes unless it was to slurp my Vimto or munch my biscuit. For some time I’d sat down bleary eyed with my daughter on Sunday mornings around 5:00 BC (Before Civilisation) and watched episodes of Bagpuss, she enjoyed them so much she named her first dolly Emily. When I heard Bagpuss was going to be sold as a collection of all the episodes I was amazed to find they had ...
...great!! Three hours of Bagpuss later I wondered what I had ever seen in it, I guess that some things are best left as child memories, sepia toned like the Bagpuss titles themselves. I might be being a little harsh Bagpuss is only a cloth cat after all, I enjoy Bagpuss now but only in small doses, the same goes for the kids, they won’t watch more than one or two episodes at a time now, thankfully. I’m glad I’ve given the kids Bagpuss, ...

Review of Bagpuss - The Complete Bagpuss (DVD)

...I digress. Bagpuss was always my favourite, and everyone else's according to a vote on CBBC. This led me to demanding Bagpuss items for Xmas 1999 and birthday 2000. I got a lifesize Bagpuss (prized possession) who travelled with me to Malta for 3 months and probably kept me sane, and "The Complete Bagpuss" on video. I drooled. There was much reminiscing and I probably smiled for a month. The video is over 3 hours long and contains ALL 13 episodes ...
...The shop was called Bagpuss & Co, but didn't sell anything, so how did they pay the rent??? Or the running costs like electricity etc...and how the hell does a little girl own a shop? Crazy! I guess it all goes back to the pure innocence of the time, and the viewer is just supposed to accept these things ( or am I being too grown-up about it ;). Anyway, Emily would bring a thing that she had found and put it down in front of Bagpuss, say some magic ...

Review of Bagpuss - The Complete Bagpuss (DVD)

Emily loved Bagpuss and so did I. I used to spend hours captivated by the pink and white stripey old cloth cat when I was very small. Looking back on it, though, it's difficult to see how something so slow-moving could have held my attention throughout each 15-minute show. Perhaps it was the characters; Professor Yaffle, the know-it-all wooden woodpecker, Madeleine the ragdoll, whose name was so similar to my own, Gabriel the singing toad, the many ...
...Bagpuss himself, who never really got involved in the action. Considering the whole series was named after him, it's strange he didn't do more than comment on the stories that were told and have the odd thought bubble. I think you'd be hard pressed to get today's children interested in the series - there isn't enough action or interaction required of them. On the other hand, if you remember the show from whem you were a child, this is the perfect ...

Review of Bagpuss - The Complete Bagpuss (DVD)

...have fond memories of watching Bagpuss as a kid - especially because at beginning of each episode the narrator says "and Emily loved him" (mainly because I used to think it was about me!!) The Complete Bagpuss available on DVD contains all 13 episodes ever made (not nearly enough in my opinion) The episodes are: Ship in a bottle (my personal fav) The owls of Athens The frog Princess The ballet shoe The Hamish The Wise Man The elephant The ...
...the DVD is the classic Bagpuss Pink and white stripes. The insert contains a listing of all the episodes. The total running time is just over three hours and you can pick which episode you would like to watch from the menu at the start of the DVD. This is a must for any Bagpuss fans out their and good quality entertainment for any child. DVD is of course rated U - Suitable for all. I can't wait for my daughter to be old enough to enjoy it and appreciate ...
