Pinny's House by Peter Firmin. Pinny was a truly wonderful series of stories written by the great Peter Firmin. Both Peter Firmin and Oliver Postgate dominated the world of Children's television for nearly three decades with a brilliant series of unbeatable childrens programs including, "Noggin the Nog", "Ivor the Engine", "Pingwings", "The Pogles", "Pogles Wood", "Tottie - the story of a doll's house." Some images are show below: Tottie - the story of a doll's house. Tottie - the story of a doll's house. "The Clangers", "Bagpuss." Together they were Smallfilms and when you see their logo you know it is a classic. The story of Pinny and the pictures were by Peter Firmin. The program narrator was Matilda Thorpe. The music by Ar Log. Pinny was directed and animated by Oliver Postgate. Pinny concerned the adventures of two tiny wooden dolls, called Pinny and Victor. Pinny was a tiny wooden Dutch doll very much like a small wooden peg. Victor was a wooden sailor doll who always wore a nice blue and white suit. Pinny was first shown by BBC television back in 1986. The books, however appeared earlier than that with some being printed in 1985. The BBC showed 13 episodes of this little adventure series. However for some reason they have never been seen on British television since the late 1980s (feel free to correct me here, I am only going off my Radio Times and I admit that there are gaps in the collection). I have searched high and low for television copies of Pinny but have always found nothing. Not even good old Ebay appeared to have an visual material. However, all is not lost since I was able to get hold of several of the books which I might add, are highly sought and fought over (as my bank manager will testify to). Pinny then became part of BBC2's "See Saw" production back in 1989. A quick snapshot is shown below. Pinny and Victor live in the sitting room of a house with two children called Jo and Tom. They have a naughty dog called Tess. In the original books, Victor was the first doll, the smallest sailor doll in the world. He had a little sailing boat next to a small china house. Victor was quite lonely and wished someone would live in the house. In fact he was so lonely he would often ask insects if they would like to live in the house. Once day the girl who owned Victor and the china house put a new doll in the sitting room. She was called Peg and was a Pedlar Doll. Of the items she had to peddle was a a small doll who would just love to live in the china house. The Pedlar Doll refuses to let the little doll go as she is very valuable. Victor has no money and eventually goes searching for other items to trade with. He finds a sparkling diamond ring (between the floor boards) and offers it in exchange for the doll. Peg agrees and Pinny as we find out her name, climbs down and is shown the house. Pinny loves the china house and wants to stay there forever. There were at least five books published by Andre Deutsch Limited of 101 Great Russell Street London WC1B 3LJ. Pinny Finds a House. Pinny in the Snow. Pinny and the Floppy Frog. Pinny and the Bird. Pinny's Party (alas I do not yet have this book) If anyone knows of anymore, I would be very grateful for the titles. I have scanned a couple of the books presented on the nex two pages. I hope it will bring back a few memories for those who were avid fans of the Smallfilms company. Characters from Pinny's House. Pinny Victor Jo, Tess & Tom Tom Tess Jo Tess can be a naughty dog Victor and Pinny together The Mantlepiece. Pinny's House - Main Page Pinny and the Floppy Frog Pinny and the Bird. Again truly great piece of work is confined to gather dust in the archives although it is fondly remembered by many. Simple, elegant, wonderfully filmed, future animators could learn a lot by watching this little animated series. You can keep all the CGI effects, this series gets my vote every time. Anyone having memories, images/scans or (sharp intake of breath). any video footage, I would love to hear from you at the usual address. Pinny's House.

  • 2 a Quotation of Normality – the Family Myth 3 'C'mon Mum, Monday
    Notes 2 A Quotation of Normality – The Family Myth 1 . A less obvious antecedent that The Simpsons benefitted directly and indirectly from was Hanna-Barbera’s Wait ‘til Your Father Gets Home (NBC 1972–1974). This was an attempt to exploit the ratings successes of Norman Lear’s stable of grittier 1970s’ US sitcoms, but as a stepping stone it is entirely noteworthy through its prioritisation of the suburban narrative over the fantastical (i.e., shows like The Flintstones , The Jetsons et al.). 2 . Nelvana was renowned for producing well-regarded production-line chil- dren’s animation throughout the 1980s. It was extended from the 1960s studio Laff-Arts, and formed in 1971 by Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive Smith. Its success was built on a portfolio of highly commercial TV animated work that did not conform to a ‘house-style’ and allowed for more creative practice in television and feature projects (Mazurkewich, 1999, pp. 104–115). 3 . The NBC US version recast Feeble with the voice of The Simpsons regular Hank Azaria, and the emphasis shifted to an American living in England. The show was pulled off the schedules after only three episodes for failing to connect with audiences (Bermam, 1999, para 3). 4 . Aardman’s Lab Animals (2002), planned originally for ITV, sought to make an ironic juxtaposition between the mistreatment of animals as material for scientific experiment and the direct commentary from the animals them- selves, which defines the show. It was quickly assessed as unsuitable for the family slot that it was intended for (Lane, 2003 p.

  • BAGPUSS TURNS 40! Submitted By: DDA Blueprint Tuesday, 11 February 2014
    BAGPUSS TURNS 40! Submitted by: DDA Blueprint Tuesday, 11 February 2014 40th anniversary of classic television character London, 12 February 2014. Much-loved iconic cat Bagpuss is celebrating his 40th birthday on 12 February, the anniversary when the show first broadcast on the BBC in 1974. Fans of that "old, saggy cloth cat, baggy, and a bit loose at the seams" will be able to join the celebrations throughout the year by watching HD, digitally re-mastered episodes of the original series at Picture House Cinemas throughout the UK. New HD DVDS, books and merchandise will also be launching in 2014 to commemorate the landmark anniversary. Created by children’s entertainment veterans Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin, also responsible for cherished classics like Clangers and Ivor the Engine, Bagpuss is still fondly remembered by generations of Britons today. Coolabi, the company which represents the rights to the brand, has kept this cultural heritage alive, and the 40th year will see a range of Bagpuss themed product available to fans - including collectable Royal Mail stamps, pet accessories, clothing, and even garden seeds. Although just 13 episodes of Bagpuss were made, the shows ran for 26 weeks a year for 13 years, and the cuddly cat’s fan base continues to grow. Channel 5 recently voted Bagpuss the third greatest kids TV programme of all time, and best character show, in a nostalgic countdown of the 50 best British children’s TV series over the past 60 years. Michael Dee, Director of Content at Coolabi says: “Bagpuss has been one of the most beloved children’s characters for 40 years, and we are thrilled that he remains as popular as ever with fans of all ages.

  • Ivor the Engine Railway Adventure Launched As an Iphone Game Submitted By: Dreadnought Design Limited Thursday, 12 May 2011
    Ivor the Engine railway adventure launched as an iPhone game Submitted by: Dreadnought Design Limited Thursday, 12 May 2011 London, UK - May 12, 2011 - Dreadnought Design, the innovative mobile games design studio behind the re-launch of Ivor the Engine to mobile gaming platforms, today announced the release of their Ivor the Engine game app for Apple’s iPhone. In Ivor and the Dragon, which was originally launched as an iPad game in April 2011, players immerse themselves in a Welsh railway adventure with Ivor the Engine and his driver, Jones the Steam. Together they must solve a series of puzzles along the famed Merioneth and Llantisilly Rail Traction Company Limited railway, as featured in the BBC TV series, in an adaptation of an original story by the late Oliver Postgate. The game features Peter Firmin’s original character artwork newly restored and rendered as high-definition graphics for the very first time. Along with Ivor’s original music by Vernon Elliott, Dreadnought Design’s Ivor and the Dragon iPhone game promises to bring an exciting railway adventure story in the authentic Smallfilms style to children and adults of all ages. Oliver Postgate’s son, Daniel Postgate, says: “My father’s wish was for all the Smallfilms materials to eventually be made available online for everyone to enjoy again, so when we were approached by Dreadnought Design last year, the timing seemed to be perfect for development to begin. Peter Firmin and I are very excited about the launch of this game on the iPhone as well as the iPad, and are delighted that Dreadnought Design have managed to keep the authenticity of the series while managing to bring it back for today’s market.” A series of interactive storybooks based on original Ivor the Engine stories are also under development and will be released under the newly created Smallworlds brand.
