I've always suspected that Bagpuss was responsible, at least partly, for the rise of Emily.

I think you could be right about that.

I have a soft spot for Bagpuss and have a toy one which sits on my bed. :)

It's hard to tell with the lack of E&W data, but I wouldn't be surprised. Less so, but perhaps Madeline too? It was reasonably popular up until the mid-2000s where I suspect the Madeline McCan association eclipses everything else just a bit too much.
