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 cat. He is a saggy, baggy, lovable old cloth cat who lives in a magical shop owned by Emily, a little girl who brings lost or broken things for Bagpuss and his friends to "mend". When Emily leaves an item in front of Bagpuss, he wakes up, and so do all his friends: Professor Yaffle, the wise but skeptical wooden woodpecker; Madeleine, the kindly rag doll; Gabriel, the banjo-playing toad; and a group of lively, mischievous mice who live in the Marvellous Mechanical Mouse Organ. Together, they bring life to the shop, telling stories, fixing broken things, and uncovering the history of forgotten treasures. Bagpuss's world is a place where imagination, music, and gentle adventure intertwine. Emily brings an old, worn-out fiddle to the shop. Bagpuss and his friends are curious to learn about its story. Professor Yaffle explains the importance of the fiddle, while Madeleine and Gabriel bring its music back to life with their songs. The mice add their playful ideas, turning the fiddle's story into a fun and exciting adventure. This episode is all about the magic of music and the joy of bringing old things back to life.
