New Clangers - 2 min taster

With their pink woolly noses and whistling speech, the Clangers were among the most memorable children’s TV characters of the 1970s.
And fans will be relieved to see they have not changed much as they return to our screens.
Last night, the BBC gave viewers the first glimpse of the Clangers, which have been reinvented for a £5million series due to be broadcast in spring.
The Clanger family – Major, Mother, Small, Tiny and Granny – are still knitted from wool and look similar to the original series’ characters.
They also still live together on the moon in the new series, which will be narrated by actor and presenter Michael Palin.
Advances in animation since The Clangers first aired more than 45 years ago will mean some slight differences.
‘We are able to give them more personality – a little twitch of the ear which can say so much,’ said Jackie Edwards, the series’ executive producer.
‘But she added: ‘The new series is very faithful to the original. It is still made with wool and love… there is a magic about The Clangers that’s enduring. You can tell what they’re saying.’
Fans of The Clangers were immediately taken with the teaser, declaring the creatures just as ‘adorable’ as the originals.
