Clangers: The Complete Collection
 
 On a small blue planet, far out in space, live the Clangers ¿ a family of pink, mouse-like creatures who communicate through gentle musical whistles. Their world is curious, inventive, and quietly joyful, filled with strange objects, unexpected visitors, and the soft rhythms of everyday life.
 
 The Clanger family consists of the inventive Major Clanger, always busy building curious contraptions; the caring and practical Mother Clanger, who keeps the household running with calm good sense; Small Clanger, whose adventurous spirit often leads him into new discoveries; and Tiny Clanger, the youngest, whose generosity and kindness shape many of the stories that unfold on the planet.
 
 The Clangers share their world with a memorable cast of friends and neighbours. These include the Soup Dragon and her Baby Dragon, who live deep underground and provide the Clangers with their much-loved green soup; the Iron Chicken and her chick; the Froglets; and the mysterious Hoots who visit from a distant planet above. Across these stories, the Clangers investigate fallen debris from space, build remarkable machines from unlikely materials, and learn how curiosity, cooperation, and politeness can solve even the most unusual problems.
 
 Originally created by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin for Smallfilms, and accompanied by the distinctive music of Vernon Elliott, Clangers remains a timeless example of thoughtful children's storytelling. This complete audiobook collection brings together all 26 original episodes, lovingly presented for audio listening, preserving the warmth, humour, and imagination that have delighted generations.

Autorenportrait

Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin were the visionary duo behind some of Britain's most cherished children's television. Together, they created a string of iconic programmes under their company Smallfilms, including Bagpuss, Ivor the Engine, Noggin the Nog, and of course, The Clangers. With Postgate's gentle narration and storytelling, and Firmin's handcrafted animation and design, their work shaped the childhoods of generations¿quietly revolutionary in both form and spirit. The Clangers, first broadcast in 1969, was unlike anything else on television. Set on a distant, cratered planet, it introduced viewers to a family of pink, mouse-like creatures who communicated in melodic whistles and explored life's small wonders with warmth, curiosity, and kindness. The show's whimsical inventiveness, environmental themes, and deeply human values won it lifelong fans, and its original stop-motion artistry still inspires animators and storytellers today. Postgate and Firmin's work was always rooted in care¿for storytelling, for children, for craftsmanship, and for the world around them. The Clangers was produced in their converted cowshed in Kent using handmade sets, found objects, and music composed by Vernon Elliott. There was nothing cynical or commercial in their vision; these were stories made with heart. In 2015, The Clangers was lovingly revived for the BBC by Peter Firmin and Oliver's son, Daniel Postgate, introducing the characters to an entirely new generation while preserving the essence of the original series.
