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. Bagpuss is a saggy, old cloth cat who sleeps in Emily's shop. But when Emily brings something special for him, Bagpuss and his friends wake up to explore the object's story. Professor Yaffle is always the voice of wisdom, Madeleine brings sweet songs, Gabriel adds his banjo melodies, and the mice make sure there's plenty of fun. Together, they turn forgotten items into wonderful adventures, using their imaginations to find magic in the everyday.

Emily brings a small statue of a wise man, and Bagpuss and his friends get ready to discover what it's all about. Professor Yaffle explains how wise men are known for their knowledge and understanding, while Madeleine and Gabriel sing about the importance of learning. The mice, as always, add their own playful spin, turning wisdom into fun!
