I love the Clangers, it brought back many memories for me. The sad thing is that i played the clangers for my 4yr old students at the school where i work & they were not that interested, they prefer Big cook, little cook & the likes.How times have changed. I loved the episode with the TV. So funny.
Bought this dvd as loved watching this when i was a child. It was nice to go back down memory lane and for younger members of the family to see what they were all about.
Adults and children alike should see this series. They really don't make children's telly like this any more. Highly Recommended. A true Classic of British TV history! Get Series 2 as well...
A great series giving an insight into the lives of these tiny creatures that live somewhere in our universe. An interesting point is that the Clangers originiated from Noggin and the Moonmouse. A classic.
I decided to buy this as I used to watch the Clangers as a child (the memories)and now my son has also taken an interest in the whistling langauge of the clangers. The things I liked most about it was the good price bearing in mind the cost of the DVD in the high street and the fact that the seller had an excellent feedback and wasn't there to rip you off. I also like the fact that all the episodes are in just two volumes so you don't have to pay out for lots more DVD's.
i loved it when i won this bid, becasue it meant that i could give my dad the DVD of his favourtie programme as a child. the picture is brilliant and i cant wait to see his face when i give it to him on christmas day. it was so easy to bid for it and the quick delivery was excellant, a top buy all round
Not sure if it's me or the kids who are really digging this, but it is totally charming to a 42 year old who remembers tham first time round. Imaginative and brilliantly written story lines, lovingly created sets, and Oliver Postgate's deadpan narration lends the whole thing a beautifully eerie atmosphere.
I, even if the kids don't, will watch them again and again.
"The Clangers" is a one-off concept, like nothing else you've ever seen or are ever likely to! Originally intended for kids, back in the early-70's, but now a real nostaglia trip for those of us with a sense of humour and tolerance of earlier animation imperfections. You love 'em or you hate 'em.
Takes you right back to your childhood or keeps you where you are if you have not yet grown up (like me!). It will have you whistling like a clanger for weeks after watching it. Be a kid again - its great!!!
