Clangers: The Complete First Series [DVD]

My husband and I are in our 40's and adore The Clangers! We have no children but love this show, we also purchased season 2. Will be also buying it for my niece.

This is a Region 2 DVD. I did not know what that meant until I tried to play it on our DVD players in the US. It will not play on DVD players in the US.

Beware! This is programmed for Region 2 UK; not accessible in Region 1 USA

Wish I had never ordered. Also wish it had said more blatantly-not playable on the US! And also not the one that William shatner narrates...

you CANT PLAY THIS DVD. IN THE USA. AND RETURN WAS PAIN....REGION 2 W I L L NOT PLAY ON YOUR DVD PLAYER

Once upon a time...Long long ago, in a far off land known as 1969, there was a company called smallfilms. Run by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin, they produced shows for children using stop motion animation.One of their shows was called the Clangers. And it was all about a group of creatures with long pink noses who live on a moon somewhere in space, far far away. They communicate by making strange whistling noises. They like to eat soup, which they get from a dragon who lives in a well.And they have fun adventures, usually involving beings or objects that come to visit their home.Some television can charm all the ages. And the Clangers has always done that. With superb stop motion animation, gentle narration from Oliver Postgate, and the infectious noises that the characters make, the Clangers is a timeless classic that can enthrall all ages just as well now as it did back then.This dvd contains all thirteen episodes of the first series of the show. Each runs for nine minutes. You can select to watch them all in a row, or individually. The main menu screen can be a bit awkward at first as it seemingly won't let you progres, but just press the enter or the play button on the dvd remote and it will take you to the screen from where you can select the episodes.For such an old programme, the picture quality is still pretty good. And the sound is excellent.There are no extras. No subtitles. And the only language option is English.But you do get thirteen bits of classic tv that can still charm and entertain both children and grown ups alike.

It’s the Clangers-what’s not to like?This is exactly how life on the moon should be; a visionary series that all children should experience however old they are (I’m 59 and still love it!)

The DVD's look good. But who ever dropped them off put them in somebody else's letterbox. I found them by my dustbins in the driveway ( soaking wet ).Your delivery men have dropped off 5 parcels to my house, all others end up somewhere else. Please look into it

Noone should grow up without this .....especially today where everything is generic and artificial ....beautiful , dream like , and actually quite deep.

Broadcast by the BBC in the late 60s / early 70s, these inoffensive knitted pink creatures provide splendid entertainment for kids of all ages. The narration also makes some poignant comments regarding the human race (too subtle for kids to pick up on - but there for older viewers). This is essential viewing for people who remember the TV show & repeats on BBC. It is simply great fun.
