Bagpuss, Episode 3

By: Oliver Postgate, John Faulkner, Alice Dyson, Sandra Kerr, Peter Firmin

Narrated by: Oliver Postgate

Bagpuss, dear Bagpuss, old fat furry cat-puss, wake up, wake up and look at this thing that I bring...

Bagpuss, created by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin, is no ordinary shop cat. He's the leader of a magical group of characters who come to life when Emily brings lost and broken things into the shop. With Professor Yaffle's wisdom, Madeleine's lovely songs, Gabriel's banjo tunes, and the playful mischief of the mice, they all work together to reveal the hidden stories behind these treasures. The shop is a place of magic, where even the simplest object has an adventure waiting inside.

Emily brings a little figure of a frog princess. Bagpuss stretches and yawns, and his friends jump into action! Professor Yaffle tells them the classic fairy tale of the Frog Princess, while Madeleine and Gabriel turn it into a beautiful song. The mice, of course, can't resist adding their own fun twist, imagining all sorts of silly adventures for the Frog Princess. It's a magical tale of transformation, love, and fun.
