This is not me! It's Small Clanger. It started as a temporary pic but had a better response than the real pictures of me. So it's staying. You can link to the Clangers page here soon. The Clangers was a 1970s TV show made by Oliver Postgate, maker of Ivor the Engine and Bagpuss. The Clangers originally appeared on Noggin The Nog when one fell into the horse trough in Noggin's village. He was asked to help send it back to the moon, and did so. Later, they "went solo" and got their own series. The Clangers live on the moon, in caves under the surface. They make blue string pudding, and harvest music from music trees. They know the Soup Dragon, and the Iron Chicken. They make odd musical noises (made by the show's crew with those tin-whistle-slider instruments - what are they called? There was a script for the Clangers, although there is no dialogue at all. You can make out what they are saying if you listen very carefully (and some of it is rude!)). The models for the Clangers were knitted, and stuffed with wire frames, and you can get knitting instructions from the Clangers site to make your own!
