I know a lot of you have a soft spot for the Clangers, especially Kevin and Bill, so here's a short preview of a what the Lunarnauts really got to see.
Tune in to CBeebies tomorrow for The Clangers special commemorative episode, 'The Visitor'.
Ah, a lovely little video,Arto and nice to see Bagpuss being wheeled about.I seem to remember seeing some of these original props at the Liverpool Garden festival during the eighties on display at the BBC stand.
I'd forgotten about the Blue Peter ship. I might have a couple of old instamatic photos from the event myself. Probably of the Daleks though, and as we went on a hot day me dangling my bare legs in the moat around the main building.:)
Love the Clangers and Smallfilms generally. Oliver Postgate's voice is so soothing and calm! Have to say they have done a top notch job of reviving the Clangers, perhaps a little to highly coloured, but very commendable!
Wow! I Love the new Clangers, I wish they'd release the lot on dvd though!
ReplyDeleteI thought you'd like that, Kev, might even tune in myself, just out of curiosity of course. ;)
DeleteA propos Clangers, was this discussed back in 2016? The exhib is long gone but this lovely video is still on YouTube

DeleteThey were, I saw them too (might even have analog photos somewhere!)
DeleteGreat stuff Kev. I remember seeing a couple of Daleks and a TARDIS too. :)
DeleteYep, I remember being photographed in front of them! There was a Blue Peter ship too.

DeleteMust admit that I was not aware of what I was looking at back then at the V&A, but I have been educated since thanks to you guys :-)
ReplyDeleteI reckon we're all still learning, Arto :)
