The Clangers TV series was first shown in 1969,
the year man landed on the moon.
The Clangers were a race of highly civilised, small, bright pink,
long-nosed mouse-shaped persons who stood upright on big flappy
feet.
They talked to each other by a kind of high pitched whistling and
had large animated ears that they pulled over their eyes when
they were sad or distressed.
