I feel somehow that all the writing should be spoken out by somone with a strong cornish accent.

I was thinking that, would have been hilarious. However, I couldn't be bothered to do it with a bad throat that I have at the moment! Maybe one day I'll have to redo it!

Damn good point, s*d that for a game, I've removed it BUT I've put it on photobucket where I doubt no one looks lol! If Oliver Postgate did search photobucket for Ivor rip-offs, he's gotta be bloody sad!

I think some steam railway had an Ivor day but OP sued them to within an inch of their life because they hadn't payed the copywrite.

With the extremely sad news that Oliver Postgate died on Monday, it turns out that he sold the rights a couple of months back, it may have been the media company that now owns the rights that was chasing up the steam railway that didn't pay the copywright fees
RIP Oliver Postgate

It's living proof that you don't need CGI, etc.. for everything, his films were simple, made on a budget and that makes them all so much more enjoyable.

I also liked Ivor a lot, but i haven't seen any episodes of it for years now.

You know what would be great, if you got a small model of Ivor the engine (which you can buy, didn't you make one for WHHR Will?) and fit a sound card to it.

But instead of having a "proper" steam engine sound, record your own "psshhticuff psshhticuff" (or OP when he did it although i think the sound quality may be a bit poor). Would be a great tribute to him and something rather different really! create lots of attention at shows!

www.smallfilms.co.uk/ivor If you look down the right hand side of the feature picture there are some sounds.
