To mark the sad passing of Smallfilm’s co-founder Oliver Postgate this weeks survey is concerned with the wonderful pieces of childrens television that the company produced.
I’ve purposely limited the selection to four possibilities, which to my mind are the most recognisable as being part of the Smallfilms stable. Â Whilst all these fine programmes were actually made before the 1980’s they were still regularly aired during the decade. Â Smallfilms did actually produce further work in the 1980’s, most notably What-A-Mess and Tottie – The Story of a Doll’s House, but as I say I’ve decided to go for the classics for this survey.
