"Saving Bagpuss
A recent BBC poll voted Bagpuss the nation's favourite BBC children's TV show of all time.
The saggy old cloth cat is 30 years old and taking part in Southampton University’s Puppet Research Project.
By analysing Bagpuss using infrared spectrometry, researchers are trying to stop him becoming more bag than puss.
On this week’s Material World, Quentin Cooper talks to his creator Peter Firmin and textile conservation expert Dinah Eastop."
It can't get better than this :-)
