I was introduced to the elder brother of Oliver Postgate (Noggin the Nog, Pogles’ Wood, Bagpuss), Professor John Postgate at a Society for General Microbiology conference at the University of Warwick when he was President.
He was the cousin of Dame Angela Lansbury – Murder She Wrote, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Death on the Nile.
Angela Lansbury was the granddaughter of Leader of the Labour Party, George Lansbury.
Angela Lansbury was the sister-in-law of Peter Ustinov – both starred in the film adaptation of Agatha Christie‘s Death on the Nile, with Lansbury as Salome Otterbourne and Ustinov as Hercule Poirot.
