Bagpuss: Celebrating the 50th birthday

To mark Bagpuss' 50th birthday, the international media group and rights holder Coolabi has announced a range of collector's products. The celebrations range from stamps to soft toys and arts and crafts.

Britains' darling

Created by Peter Firmin and Oliver Postgate, the mere thirteen episodes of the iconic Smallfilms cartoon series have lodged themselves in the hearts of British audiences. To this day, Bagpuss is considered one of the best television series of all time.

To mark the anniversary, leading distributor of collector coins and stamps, The Westminster Collection, is launching a brand new collection of five 50p base metal and sterling silver coins.

Bagpuss also continues his role as mascot for Hospices of Hope, the only UK charity dedicated to supporting hospices in Southern and Eastern Europe.
