Oliver Postgate (This challenge is now closed)
Oliver Postgate, the brilliant mind behind The Clangers, Bagpuss and many other childhood favourites, passed away this week. He was a big influence on many b3tans, and this week's challenge is to pay tribute. RIP.

I too...
...am saddened by the news.
I thoroughly recommend reading his autobiog if you can get hold of a copy (it's called "Seeing Things)
No groovy image I'm afraid, but you should definitely take a look at the doc that my employers re-broadcast the other night as a tribute. Sadly it's not on iPlayer, but it is on the Tube of You...

It was made a few years back, when BBC Wales created some "Ivor the Engine" themed trailers for digital TV, using scans of the original artwork. I've tried like mad to find them on YT or a similar site, with no joy, I'm afraid.
A very very sad loss, you need only look at new stuff like "In the Night Garden" to see his long-lasting influence. He will be greatly missed. *raises glass* *sheds tear*
