DROPPING A CLANGER...

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'.

Now, where's my swanee whistle?!

  1. Wow! I Love the new Clangers, I wish they'd release the lot on dvd though!

    1. I thought you'd like that, Kev, might even tune in myself, just out of curiosity of course. ;)

  2. A propos Clangers, was this discussed back in 2016? The exhib is long gone but this lovely video is still on YouTube

    5. 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.:)

  3. Must 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 :-)

  4. 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!
