The Clangers


Lorraine, these are the Clangers and they are pure magic. I watched them avidly when I was a child and have passed on the love of all things created by Oliver Postgate to my own children.

They are little creatures that speak only in gentle hoots and whistles, they live on a far distant blue planet with such creatures as the soup dragon, the froglets and the sky moos and they make the imagination soar.

Sian- Oh how cute.

I still love Postman Pat, Pingu and of course, Fireman Sam- with the Welsh accents. Ivor the Engine too.

I love Wallace and Gromit the best.

Pingu is fab, so anarchic and Wallace and Gromit are right up there too.

Ivor the Engine is another must watch (along with Noggin the Nog) which takes me straight back to childhood. They really don't make them like that anymore.
