He had a "good innings" bless him and spent his time creating things to make people happy. In his honour I will now spend the remains of the day communicating with the other Pottings by a series of whistles

I loved Ivor the Engine and Noggin the Nog - wonderful childhood memories of the late 1950s

RIP Peter

The Clangers and Bagpuss were enchanting for millions of kids, and some 'kids at heart' too.

Clangers were my favourite, not one clue what they were on about though.

Another vote for Noggin the Nog, I always thought Nogbad the Bad had an influence on Dick Dastardly...

...And intrigued that one of the tributes via Twitter quoted by the BBC is "John Terry said Mr Firmin was a "bringer of joy". Surely not THE John Terry
