The Clangers


The Clangers

Clangers are charming pink aliens with long noses and big flapping feet that live on a blue-cratered planet. They like green soup and blue-string pudding, and live in harmony with the other inhabitants - like the Soup Dragon, Froglets and Glow Buzzers. Very peace and love!

Courtesy and non-violence are all-important. They have big ears, which they pull over their eyes when they are sad.

Knitted aliens live happily together under their planet's surface in caves protected by saucepan lids. The noise of the lids being closed gave the Clangers their name.

One episode made use of the US flag left by the moon landing crew earlier in 1969.
