Like so many films, tv series, cartoons, more or less anything you can think of, your abiding impression/memory is often of the beginning/ending - Star Wars, Independence Day, Mad Max, anyone? In this regard Bagpuss is at the very forefront. Oliver Postgate's soothing tones lull you into a false sense of security and then from out of nowhere he hits you with "but Emily loved him" - enough to draw a tear from this 50 year old father of three's eye - absolute genius.
