(upload test)

[@andrewdavid68]

A thing of simple beauty, making this 41 year old smile with joy.

[@jackoboymm]

Andrew Jenkins memories from back in the day.👍

[@AcornElectron]

55 now huh?

[@ZZvonSchnerk]

I never saw Bagpuss as a child. I first saw it at the age of 21 - an adult watching a children's show, with no nostalgia from my own childhood. I still thought it was awesome! Just goes to show that, well, Bagpuss is awesome!

[@uclrichard]

i'm a 44 year old cynical atheistic liberal financial journalist... but i can't watch bagpuss without crying....it has that effect on me...more than anything else...postgate was a genius.

[@DutchVanHelsing]

Join the club..

[@random_an0n]

15 years you posted this but i just wanna tell you how cringe you are

[@emmapeart6101]

Loved watching this as a little girl, and still do to this day. Lovely programme, adorable characters. ♥️

[@tarantulasrus7388]

I'm 45, and have just been transported straight back to 1974. I miss Bagpuss

[@batterybroken]

I was singing this while scrubbing a kettle earlier because it began to shine again 😂😂😂

[@monkeymagicsupernova9358]

How beautiful!

[@rsmeaton]

I believe it was called the Sumer Canon... "Sumer is Icumin in..." It actually was the earliest discovered written piece of music that included the word "fart," or "uerteþ" in middle English.

[@slumberlite]

I love these little mice :-) I wish we had Bagpuss on T.V. in the U.S. when I was growing up. So sweet!

[@pierslindsay8646]

I used to love this. Takes me back to the mid 70s.

[@Woozygulag]

Never watched many of Oliver Postgate's stuff while I was a child. I'm only 27, so I was Thundercats and He-man. I remember bits of the clangers. He devoted his entire life to the happiness of children. He was a great writer and a paitient and humble film-maker. He had such talent and a great wit. I've only just begun watching his films. But I already miss him.

[@sofiyums]

Damn, you're 38 now

[@SoylentGreeeen]

I've just heard it for the first time in my life and this tune gives me the shivers. Lovely.

[@elaineb4490]

Just fabulous. Great fun but educational at the same time. What a pity that children in the 21st century are only subjected to violent, aggressive and (usually) American rubbish. Bring this, and all the other classic 1970s children’s programmes back and let’s return to civility and pleasantness again.

[@Fahrvergnugen]

I love how the little mice sing in rounds.

[@philld1201]

The mice are singing to the tune of an old English medieval round called 'Sumer is icumen in.' It dates back to around 1250. You can hear the song here kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGO3nGSAqMqMobc&ab_channel=ChiaraFoti

[@tadge72]

@@philld1201also heard on the wicker man !

[@uclrichard]

this gets me every time....pure genius... i wish there were more 'mice' songs in you tube...i love the one about 'glue'...remember it? it was over 30 years ago...but i still just about do...

[@weaseldoit]

I know it's 13 years ago but just in case, here's the glue mending song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep2zaJ9uq9CBhc0

[@JonathenHarty]

squeaky tears all round - memories of not wanting to go to playgroup for the afternoon come flooding back more bagpuss!!! more! more!!!

[@childhoodncstalgia]

Happy 50th Anniversary/Birthday Bagpuss. Thank you for everything ❤

[@tadge72]

There was something really sad about Bagpuss but i loved it . Happy memories.

[@victoriafrodsham652]

Old days growing up. Love this. Thank you for sharing.

[@NorthernFella]

II am rewatching all of them to cheer me up. As an adult, I see a different side of the Stories. Inclusion, cooperation, etc..... I saw a documentary about Oliver he made so many wonderful Children's Progrannes, another favourate of mine was Ivor the Engine, I attribute my dragon fascination to that lol.

[@veganvampire95]

this brings me deep unbridled joy

[@JoeRivermanSongwriter]

To the tune of "Summer Is a Coming In" one of the oldest songs of the English language.

[@danw1374]

Even older than 'Greensleeves' I believe

[@desswan6336]

The voice takes me back 50yrs wow

[@riverslife2443]

So cute!!! 😍☺️😊

[@random_an0n]

this song popped into my head just now lol,last time i heard this song i was a child in the early 00s and this was on tv.

[@rmilrta]

The tune is the from the very ancient English song "Sumer is Icumen In". (trans "Summer is a-comin' in")

[@baekhoism]

As a 48 year old woman, this never fails to make me cry and smile and shart.

[@muscleboi4use]

I want this as a ringtone!!

[@mac189]

I remember watching this when I was younger this song I s special to me

[@leow3696]

Roommate pointed out that the tune is similar to the Middle English folk song ‘Sumer is Icumen In’.

[@khrystree9233]

Absolutely divine, pure delight for kids of 50 and upwards K

[@melanieosborne]

[@gerry5134]

[@1220b]

The mouse song is in fact based on a 13th century song titled Sumer icumen in.

[@Chantytown]

warms the cockles of my heart

[@natalieswick9271]

Imagine your house is really Erie, and your sleeping one night and your bagpuss Toy just goes off and this song plays.

Just here to say that the cleaning song uses the same tune as Summer is icumen in, the song that's used at the end of The Wicker Man.

[@dustmote1]

nowadays Bagpuss would be killed off in focus groups. Same goes for all Oliver Postgates fabulous little films. He never ever talked down to children. A genius.

[@TuathaDeGaia]

I hope Professor enjoys what he sees there.

[@tonyatkin]

@QueenReigns1 It doesn't ring any bells. Maybe you could link to an audio clip of it?

[@RichXbox360]

Indeed, come back 80s kids TV all is forgiven, none of this Teletubbies shite.

[@paul4archery]

The dream life 🤞

[@gregkiteos1936]

Someone should make a phat remix of this tune.
