Amazon.co.uk Review
The Complete Clangers is an unmissable double-DVD set containing all 26 episodes of this classic television series. Devised by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin, whose other credits include such masterpieces as Ivor the Engine and Bagpuss, the programmes detail life on the small blue planet, somewhere out in space, that is home to these long-nosed, gentle, pink creatures with their distinctive whistling language. Life is simple when you're a Clanger; with plentiful green soup and blue-string pudding to eat, the main worry is being hit by objects from space. Fortunately, Clangers have armour to protect their little knitted bodies and live in caves within the planet enclosed by metal lids--the slamming of which gives them their name. A peaceful race, the Clangers live in harmony with the other inhabitants of their world--the Soup Dragon, the Froglets, several Glow Buzzers and the Iron chicken--as well as any other visitors who may drop by.

When you're sitting comfortably, prepare to wallow in nostalgia with these timeless tales or introduce them to a new generation--neither of you will be disappointed. --Helen Baker

They're back!!
My heros, the Clangers! I used to watch these little darlings as a teenager in the 70's, and my mother would always complain that I was watching a programme for kids! 'What?' I would reply, 'But this is an alien life form that communicates by whistles. Highly intelligent. In fact more intelligent than anything I have seen on the television today, including the news!' Top marks. I loved this series. A real classic that can be watched and enjoyed by all.

The complete Clangers DVD
Anyone of my generation (baby boomers)should remember these little darlings. The Soup Dragon, The Iron Chicken & Blue String soup, all as charming as ever.

It's the clangers
For those who have never seen the Clangers during the 1970's then you should be in for a treat. It is great fun that the kids will love watching. They speak with whistles and they have an interpreter who lets you know what is happening.
You will meet all the Clangers, The Soup Dragon and the Metal Chicken along the way.
The DVD is put into two series or you can watch the whole lot at once.
Basicly things fall to the Clangers planet or orbit it for every one to talk about with the excepting of the man from Earth whom they hide from. You get an introduction to all the characters and see how they interact and after a while you get used to their emotions.
Great DVD that the kids will love for ever.
