Critics Review
Postgate had one of the most distinctive, instantly recognisable voices in television, warm, avuncular but also tinged with an otherworldly quality that suited his strange, magical stories perfectly.
Oliver Postgate was, for my money, the greatest children’s storyteller of the last 100 years. Together, the team of Postgate and Peter Firmin were apparently incapable of creating anything less than timelessly wonderful whenever they sat down to work.
Oliver Postgate created some of the most beautiful and understated children’s television animation of the 1950s and beyond. Not only have we lost a great animator, but a singular performer and brilliant storyteller.
He was one of the great storytellers on television.
He had a warmth and love for what he was doing and for the audience who were watching.
Postgate’s work has been a huge influence on me… Somehow, for me, [The Clangers] defines all that is cosy about childhood. From Postgate’s warm, reassuring voice, to the curiously hand-knitted aliens, it gave me a sense that all was well with the world
A wise and warm book from Britain’s favourite surrogate uncle, proving he’s just as good at storytelling for adults as he was for children.
The Clangers, Bagpuss, Noggin The Nog… They’re all here. He’s one of the great artists and always imagining a better world. A proper genius and very punk rock.
Postgate beautifully recounts the story of his extraordinary and adventurous life, and how he came to create his stories and characters.
