A kinder, gentler, less cynical world view is almost impossible to find in children's tv. Fantastically imagined, playful worlds that still capture the imagination. Sadpuss indeed.

Ivor the Engine, a real Welsh hero!

As Davesport - a massive fan.  Wonderfully imagined and beautifully, lovingly realised.  A very valuable and fondly remembered part of my childhood.

Many thanks Peter Firmin.

Sad times indeed. Moomins were great, but Bagpus et al were SO much better.
