Noggin the Nog - Nogbad the Bad

[@fuzzybobbles]

RIP Oliver. You left behind so many wonderful kids tv shows. I spent many hours watching them, my cousins did too. Thanks to DVD and digital media, and the internet, many generations will continue to enjoy your work.

[@frogstamper]

The memories the music and Oliver's voice invoke take me back to a cold winters teatime in the early 70's as I sat with my sister and listened to Oliver's hypnotic voice as he told us about "the lands to the north, where the black rocks stand guard against the cold sea" and of a tribe of Norsemen sitting by a roaring fire telling tales. Absolutely magic, his skill as a story teller remains unsurpassed.

[@ebenezerhoary]

That music, that artwork and ofcourse THAT voice...timeless!

[@ChunkyStab]

Smashing series. These were more innocent times. I love these stories.

[@spinozacelt]

I loved this and the voice of Oliver Postgate is the soundtrack to my childhood:-)

[@DuncanRobb-Osmaston]

I feel a big part of my childhood has died today and I've felt very sad all day, goodbye and thank you Mr Postgate, your genius will live on.

[@joblow523]

cool thats what my dad watched when he was younger !!! I think it would be somthing I would watch on T.V every day !!!

[@ChunkyStab]

A light has gone out in the world but Oliver has left us a beautiful legacy. He will not be forgotten.

[@TequilaKitty86]

RIP Oliver Postgate. They don't make children's telly like they used to!

[@jabbso]

Absolutely amazing. I was transfixed as I was when I was a child. Best story teller ever. MOAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need more pls!

[@WorldwideBreakingnews562]

Have to say made a wonderful break from the ups and downs of modern day life. So glad to share this edition and am proud to subscribe to your wonderful channel, Keep them coming Kind Regards Steve Simmonds

[@ChunkyStab]

Nogbad the Bad. A more sinister being there never was!

[@MDreadedTV]

The world is a sadder place today. We have lost a genius :(

[@jubbaronny]

Oliver Postgate's voice brings back great memories

[@Fishlip5]

Respect to Firmin and Postgate! Real stories,brilliant!

[@joblow523]

My dad watched this when he was young !!!

[@polyphemous]

i wholeheartedly agree; wonderful childhood memories of the whole world this created. Well done chunkyStab

[@vanillaorchid]

Oliver Postgate was a complete and utter genius.

[@blagger56]

Peter Firmin, as I recall, was the narrator of Noggin the Nog. At times, like at 1:28 onwards, his narration used to scare the crap out of me, and Nogbad the Bad REALLY used to scare me. I don't believe this was ever on Blue Peter, but I know Bleep and Booster was. It was a serialisation of 313 five minute episodes shown between 1963 and 1977 (according to Wikipedia). All I have to do is close my eyes and it is there, funny how some things stay there forever... Nice post by the way.

[@ChunkyStab]

Thanks badfaht. Another jewel from the past. There's a great story behind the cartoons. OP had to be convinced to release them! Thanks for commenting

[@psj3809]

Yeah i remember that, classic 80's kids show. Was on the news a while back as the actress who played her sadly died recently

[@rogerbodger33]

lovely to see this again....add more pls

[@afterthetone]

Thank you Oliver

[@ChunkyStab]

BINGO LOL. I knew I'd seen him somewhere before! The voice is similar as well! AND you never see them in the same room together!! :-)

[@ppppiiiinnnn]

was a great program

[@asstezz]

mesmerising as a child

[@barpypardlo]

Nogbad looked like Graham Hill the motorracing champion.

[@emilyrowanangel]

I watched a video of this that my parents had when I was about 4! It was the one with the ice dragon. I found it soooo scary :D

[@ChunkyStab]

Couldn't agree more Queenie. Thanks for commenting.

[@ChunkyStab]

Yes, you need to be of a 'certain age' to influenced by this treasure. :-) Thanks for commenting.

[@armitaj]

Yes, RIP Mr Postgate, and Noggin the Nog was my favourite, but I don't agree exactly that they don't make TV like that any more. Wallace and Gromit and other Aardman stuff are in the same line of gentle, whimsical stop-motion, albeit more hi-tech and high budget, and Nick Park told Oliver Postgate that it was Ivor the Engine that got him into animation in the first place.

[@ChunkyStab]

Me to, but I always had faith in Noggin. Thanks for commenting.ChunkyStab

[@ChunkyStab]

Charming weren't they. Thanks for commenting. ChunkyStab

[@poolfarm2]

Make's the hairs stand up on the back of your neck!

[@ChunkyStab]

try networkdvd they have the original DVD recently available but not for long. Try the Dragon's friendly society also. They pursuaded OP to release them onto DVD so it'd be nice to support him. Classic Original stuff. Thanks for commenting spidersandwich.

[@insanityrulestheday]

Takes me back to happy days, if only I'd realised then that Nogbag was really Thatcher the Snatcher in disguise :-) tee hee hee

[@ChunkyStab]

Weren't they just? Thanks for commenting. CS

[@ChunkyStab]

Thanks Rubba... sorry Jubba. May have something special coming soon, if you like OP's voice.

[@ChunkyStab]

I didn't think you were old enough to remember! :->

[@Bevoin1970]

@ChunkyStab Wow! I remember Bleep and Booster too, used to think I was going mad and imagined I'd watched them, but you just confirmed I did see them on Blue Peter, not very often mind. :-)

[@ChunkyStab]

No, a little bit before but the same humour. Thanks for commenting. ChunkyStab

[@ChunkyStab]

Je vous remercie. Semper praeclarus. Thanks for commenting,ChunkyStab

[@Cool2BCeltic]

This is very good children's television made on a limited budget, in fact to say that it's very good is an understatement. However, I think this would have had more impact if it had been in black and white.

[@ChunkyStab]

Wonderful isn't it. Thanks for commenting.

[@AlastairHeggie]

Does anyone else think Nooka is hot? Good work there Noggin!

[@ChunkyStab]

I'm not sure but you've got me thinking now! I remember Bleep and Booster? and marmalade sandwiches!

[@inkydolphin]

@jaynies1 I think you mean marmalde atkins!

[@timbentinck]

Noooo. It just stopped!!

[@ruthbarron625]

Well this one might be interesting but the colour version of The Ice Dragon is my favourite.

[@vapourmile]

Cool story! I've been thinking: Is it just because we were younger then and everything seemed to much more vivid and immediate, or has so much TV really deteriorated? Well, there's not much kids story telling as sophisticated as this! These days it's all just attempts to brain-wash out kids into behaving the way we want them to. Well hey, don't old fables serve that purpose so much better, more poignantly and with greater imagination and inspiration?

[@marshsherrif2824]

dont go into the woods

[@frogstamper]

@LokiV It only seems like yesterday doesn't it?

[@ChunkyStab]

Try a search for 'the dragon's friendly society' and follow the lynx#1

[@hazifantazi]

tremendous

[@TheHottoddy731]

that was it marmalade atkins xxx

[@ChunkyStab]

Lovely stories. I didn't realise it had been out on Video. Thanks for commenting, why not subscribe?

[@wellohmeeeeeee]

wasn't on Blue Peter originally?

[@Stevenwigmore]

Nogbad the bad is somehow the most evil son of a bitch imaginable.

[@ChunkyStab]

It overlapped with Pugwash but was from an earlier time. All wonderful stuff though.

[@SeanNolan5]

a true classic. still scary. o.O

[@motoduke748]

@Gamcal2 why?

[@Gamcal2]

I still find it scary and I'm 51!
