Peter Firmin has passed away. With the late Oliver Postgate they set up Smallfilms (I think it was called) and made such classics from my childhood as "Noggin the Nog", "Ivor the Engine", "Pogles Wood", "Captain Pugwash" (I think), and of course the much-loved Bagpuss (although that was after my time) and the Clangers.

[Footnote - a friend of mine is slowly creating a model railway based on Ivor the Engine - with Peter Firmin's blessing]
