The Clangers is a lovely 70's BBC show set in a far-away planet to resemble the moon. A series about a family of knitted aliens living out a threadbare existence on a bleak and cold world.
The Clangers are small, pink mouselike persons who live under their planet's surface in caves protected by saucepan lids. The noise of the lids being closed (to protect their home from falling space debris, of course) gave the Clangers their name.With space exploration becoming increasingly popular (the moon landing only 4 months prior to the creation and realization of
The Clangers), the show was a hit. Find a bunch of them on
