This week BBC Four is showing tales from The Sagas of Noggin the Nog created by the SmallFilms duo of Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin, who produced children's classics such as Bagpuss, The Clangers and Ivor the Engine.Insight Moving Images had the great pleasure of working with Oliver Postgate and The Dragon's Friendly Society to create the DVD's for Noggin the Nog and the Storybooks, which were remade as short films with the original illustrations.
Sit back and be enchanted by these wonderful stories on BBC4 this week... "In the lands of the North, where the black rocks stand guard against the cold sea, in the dark night that is very long, the men of the Northlands sit by their great log fires and they tell a tale..."
We like this review: "Oliver Postgate's narration is completely hypnotic. It has the warmth of a fireside within it, but there's something else, something cruel and dark, yet delicious and inviting at the same time..." Toonhound
Noggin the Nog and other DVD's (Tottie, The Pogles and the Pingwings) can be purchased from The Dragon's Friendly Society.
