Although Emily doesn't appear in the stories, except for the introduction, she is a major character.
After all, it is Emily that runs the shop, finds things to be repaired, and wakes Bagpuss up so that he can identify and repair the latest thing with his friends.
Emily was played by Peter Firmin's daughter, Emily.
Bagpuss is a magical cat. When he wakes up, all his friends come to life. He can also make his thoughts visible in bubbles above his head.
Despite this, he doesn't play a major part in most of the stories, instead being content to lie on his rug and listen to the songs the others sing as they identify and repair the thing.
All in all, he's just an old, saggy cloth cat.
Baggy, and a bit loose at the seams.
But Emily loved him.
Professor Yaffle, full name "Augustus Barclay Yaffle", the carved wooden book-end, is the brains of the outfit, or so he'd like to think. He is very knowledgeable, but a bit proud, and the mice love to play tricks on him to bring him down a peg or two.
Despite being a bit aloof, Yaffle can be touched by beauty, as he shows in "The Ballet Shoe", when he dances with the Marvellous Mechanical Prima Ballerina.
Yaffle is the most complex of the characters, and moves around more than most, being nailed to the floor with tacks to prevent him falling over.
