Clangers : The Intruder

[beezybeast1011]

this is faaaaar creepier than any space horror movie ever made!

[baddmanaz]

crude and jerky animation. not very pleasing to the eye. well, what do you expect?

[QueenOfTheAubergines]

omg! I remember these xD I was only little and I thought it was really boring though xD

[491dazza]

They modelled the moon from my face! There could be copyright problems

[tonyedgey]

Are they real ?

[uDylon]

In this world there so close to GOD that he can commentate to what they are doing and they can hear him! :D

[epicoly]

omg i love this!!!! i havnt seen it for ages

[eggnog158]

I'm a 1992 baby.... how come I remember this from my childhood? That damn whistle sound makes me feel weird man.

[daniney]

@eggnog158 1993 here and i know the feeling.

[datkidepik93]

@eggnog158 Yeah 93 too and its because it used to come on Nick Jr in the 90's. This used to annoy the hell outta me with the damn whistling

[longded]

just watched appolo 18 and need something soothing! ;]]]

[youscrewber]

It's quite lonely, isnt it

[evilkittycatmusic]

Oh The Clangers, My Childhood! :) even though I was born in the '90's

[pib712thesecond]

The narrator sounds like Brian Cox.

[Jodie1995sox]

I was born in 1995 but me and my mum and dad watched this nearly everyday!

[sovietowl]

IF  CLANGERS RULED THE WORLD

[FORCENSX]

What year was this?

[Dylanquinn666]

@FORCENSX This is from the first series in 1969. The show started then and ended in 1972.

[FORCENSX]

@Dylanquinn666 Thanks.

[FORCENSX]

ACE.

[NancyStar345]

my dad bought me the video tape with all the episodes on when i was little, i've just rememberd them! I can remember everything from this episoide and most of the others and i haven't watched them in over 8 years!:'-)

[queenjam2001]

we had to write a script on this episode as if they could say words lool

[PrincessHorseraddish]

@queenjam2001 They do say words. They had an actual script. The infamous first words of the episode 'Chicken' are, "Oh, sod it. The bloody thing's stuck again."

Granted, most of the time, you can't understand the actual words, but every now and then it's the most obvious thing in the world. Even when you can't, it's still clear enough to get the idea of the sentiment behind the whistles.

[zhorsex]

my mother is creased here

[CrazyLazySnazzyJazzy]

This is a brilliant show.

[StevetheEmperor]

They seem to be an interesting extraterrestrial lifeform.

[psypha909]

@StevetheEmperor, so said Roger Delgado in the Sea Devils

[paintcan176]

NARRATION XD

[diabl2master]

holy crap, every line I hear, I had forgotten it, but when I hear it it feels like I wathced it yesterday... oh my god

[SeniorMoosebag]

Dang...

[moya138]

I love this.

[xTanx14]

i love the clangers :D xx

[SuperSailorSailing]

There is a sweet naivete about this that would be lost on today's kids. It was primitive but imaginative at the same time.

[mrlegofan404]

this show is werid

[Karaokejax]

I love it! They take one look at earth and decide not to bother visiting.....lol!

[NaruxSasu2011]

I grew up with this xD Soo cute :)

My dad and I still whistle like them for a laugh :D

[AMikeOnLine]

This is why im classed a nutter. I was brought up on this..!

[sandyclaus1905]

bring back the clangers! better then rasta mouse

[KirstPrinny1]

This used to scare me so much o___o As a child.

[eggnogonthebog]

That voice of the narrator sounds so British LOL!

[DIABLOVT12]

@eggnogonthebog Nice one, Captain Obvious.

[EGGYTROLL1]

wooooo clangers are awesome

[AlchemicalDavid]

I must stop smoking so much - I've watched it twice and it still makes sense!

[NodDisciple1]

The Master from Dr. Who used to watch this. XD

[Davewise1965]

The good old days.

[LOCOMOTIONNUMBER1]

I told you that pink British knitted aliens would take over the outer reaches of space...but nobody believed me.

[Minidrags]

that's one fucking powerful telescope

[TheDjinn2]

@Minidrags Clangers 'Hubble' mate.



[brickiedave]

Bring back the CLANGERS ..... Better than Rasta mouse

[JAMESTREWIN3697]

What a bunch of hard men,thats right tell it to stop.....hang on whats that , :O What a rude machiene :O :@

[Isaacsaxtonknight]

CLANGERS i love these fellas :D :)

[thebeardedjohn]

doesnt it sound like David Mitchell is narrating?

[bardo0007]

I watched this when I was a kid in Norway , with Norwegian speech. 

I loved it

[billj81000]

i remember when this was on tv

[xxunxnamedxx1]

holy jesus!! I LOVED THIS SHOW!!!!!!!! :) i remember this exact episode! :) makes me so sad that theres nothing good for kids to watch these days! when i have kids, i'm going to download all the great 90's tv shows and not let them watch anything else! :) lol

[bravesiremma]

He'd better give that back! That belongs to the machine!

[suppeople109]

21 people had no childhood

[sazzieA1]

oooh memories!! I use to be able to understand 'clanger', got quite good at speaking it too, much to the annoyance of my teenage sister. Not my fault she was lousy at languages :-D

[sear1968]

This is so fake,.... look at the shadows on these screenshots, comes in from all directiones + rodents do not whistle !

[jonnobarron]

@sear1968 you really are a clever person arent you....!

[Cool2BCeltic]

Did Oliver Postgate ask for some advice from Sir Patrick Moore in preparing his voiceover at the start of this episode.

[owainglyndwr16]

@Cool2Celtic Not sure but there is a good chance Jeff wayne saw this episode and decided to cast Richard Burton for war of the Worlds !! Got to admit Oliver Postgate had his finger on the pulse when he wrote this episode or he's genuinely contemptuous towards his fellow human being "i think the latter!" LoL

[rebeckety]

i luuvvv this ssooooooo much xxxxxxxxxx

[conversebuddy93]

Look out it's FUCKING TANK!

[tucksy]

21 people are either too young or downright bloody dim.

[persephonewasweird]

@tucksy No-one's too young for the Clangers! It's amazing!

[garyhosty]

thanks this is mighty fine : I never knew the clangers were so cool

[ilovechocolatexx1]

oh my goshhhhh i love thiss

[cookie123456789012]

NOISTALGIAAAAAAAA!

[Davewise1965]

I am 45 and I remember this so well.

[STUFF4U100]

Clangers are cuttttttttte"""""!!!!!!!

[bcmpromotions]

They scared the shit out of me and my mum kept sitting me infront of it in the afternoon!

[superluc202020]

Wow this would never be allowed on tv today, corporations would stop it and say it ruins their image :(

[EddieTheDaddyHitler]

Tiny Clanger is actually a crack addict now, true story.

[leiefilm]

@EddieTheDaddyHitler lol well they had to do something to keep up with the authors

[Feisty1967]

I'd rather live on planet Earth than live on the Moon! It seems like a very limited existence!

[Beff1138]

As a child I watched this... behind a cushion.

[rhinomantis88]

7:12 adorable tiny clanger

[CheaterMcCheat]

I love it! :D

[rhinomantis88]

[iamracheleparker]

[theslice2]

[Shellos77]

[Shellos77]

[MrsEdwardMasenCullen]

[Taffnp]

[sazzieA1]

@Taffnp HaHa so they did use the rocket to come to earth afterall.....must have missed that episode lol

[billsurf101]

[TheJaydiddymercer]

[DragonZeara]

The good days when it was about imagination and not about spectical.

[bladerunner12]

Oh sod it, the bloody thing is stuck again.

[sophieelophiee]

[toonarme]

[rabblue]

[stereogrIm]

[joyce02]

a real blast from the past. one thing though.......the intro about launching space probes was very spooky! maybe thats why the probes to mars keep failing.........martian clangers yanking bits of the robots we send!!!!

thanks for posting.

[TheAmyCody]

i actually loved this !!! :)

[sylvesterthekat]

Wow, that's one awesome telescope!

[neaxen]

I'm from Germany and a friend of mine... well maybe you know this action going through facebook: take as a profile picture a hero of your childhood, and a friend of mine took this and so I just came to it! It is sooo cute! I am really in love with it!

[sunnymehmi]

whats the instrument in the background called?

[owainglyndwr16]

Classic !! Earth got a bit of erm "Bad publicity" !! me thinks the creator has a chip on his/her shoulder !! Pesky humans invading everyone and filling the Heavens with junk !! Nice to see honesty conjoined with Artistic licence !!

[rapturerock]

"oh look they've made that rocket already, that was quick wasn't it"

[RllyCoco]

Wow! =D The Clangers Are Better Than NASA!!

[planetrockford]

@RllyCoco The Clangers secretly run NASA.

[RllyCoco]

@planetrockford LMFAOO i Bet They Do!

[mts2457]

@RllyCoco I Enjoy Taking Extra Time To Capitalize The First Letter Of Each Word In My Sentences For No Apparent Reason!!

[RllyCoco]

@mts2457 Yes Indeed Because It Looks Better..

[distinctlyminty]

'it's come off in his hand!'

[Themastercode1235]

CLANGERS! OMG! memories of watching these on video! they were good times!

[diabl2master]

@Themastercode1235 i fucking know right... so nostalgic :O

[nowoolovermine]

I remember the very first episode, we watched at a 7yr old birthday party, next day at school all the kids in class were going boo be bee booo all day. What a crack up

[cadizduende]

What? No Clangers, no Soup Dragon, no Iron Chicken?! Noooooo!!!! It can’t be true. I don’t believe you….

[VONCEIL1]

.Nuff said !!

[055697]

I was about thirty when i realised there were no Clangers, no Soup Dragon, no Iron Chicken, that it was all a work of fiction. Imagine how gutted I was! Fortunately, I know that Father Christmas defo does exist, so that's a relief.

[TheTechFish]

How can 20 people dislike this? shame on you.

[Davewise1965]

I was born in 1965. I loved those days as a child. I know i can't but i would go back to 1970 when i was 5 years old in an instant if i could.

[owainglyndwr16]

@Davewise1965 Ditto !! Tom Jones ways playing when i popped out to say hi to the world !! 

[Davewise1965]

I remember The Clangers very well.

[Neobenedict]

memories

[djrichie65]

knitted aliens love it

[vbekiv]

for years my mum and dad used to drive us past the Campbells factory in Kings Lynn. I was convinced that the soup dragon used to live there. 30 years later I'm still not sure that the soup dragon doesn't whistle as I drive by :)

[Eztoez]

Simply awesome

[JimTLonW6]

Clangers - best programme ever!

[sianchild]

The clangers are just so CUTE!

[jamez870]

I love these pink guys and their wonderful love for life

[VickieIsSmall]

Feel like I'm reliving my childhood at my nana's house haha.

[lukeman527]

this brings back so many good memories from when i was a young child, it was my fav , i miss the days when i was a child

[HeiSebastian]

mom showed me this yesterday. When the narrator mentioned the iron chicken, we both laughed so hard XD

Amazing, just.... amazing.

[robokill387]

lol, this episode reminds me of avatar!

[Megaloryan]

If they had seen Swansea through that Telescope, they would have declared bloody war!

[ithotofthisfirst]

I've always thought the guy just sort of winged his voiceover. Classic wierd drugged out british kids T.V. to add to rainbow and the magic roundabout. More recently perhaps The Teletubbies, I mean what is with that sun with the baby's face on it! Love the crazy stuff this country produces!

[allthings321]

this was made 4 youtube  lol love how they talk

[leekk70]

[torbjgri]

I never understood this programme as a child. Have to admit I'm still struggling.

[04smallmj]

@torbjgri Just as confusing as "in the night garden".

[ShadowOfADoubt7]

=/ failing to find the next episode ("Visiting Friends")

would anyone know a good site to watch it, as well as the rest of the episodes?

[grimgor31]

[xxalexmonxx]

[slimjim16371]

[debsie40]

[wayneleon100]

Hahaha, the Iron Chicken. By the way, the Clangers all ate soup from the Soup Dragon. Hahaha.

[wayneleon100]

I used to be fascinated in all of these shows. As a kid I would stare at the screen, mesmerisd by the Clangers, The Herbs, Ivor the Engine, Bagpuss and the rest. Wonderful memories.

[skydog1]

Used to watch these avidly. Along with thousands of other matelots when I was 21 in the RN. OK we had too much time on our hands in the dog watches but WTF. :o) o|---)

[cizedista]

they look like genitals :S

[tumadoireacht]

if that is what your s look like -go see an STD doctor

[haileysvomit]

who needs acid ,just clangers ,ha,ha,ha,ha

[tinyrebellion]

hmmm so theraputic

[moggster628]

I REMEMBER THISSS haha!

[MpukGunsmith]

tbh a lot of our childhood was an acid trip, either way it was a hell of a lot better then what kids today experiance.

/me whistles along

[ThankYouForTheDays1]

@Rathko if you want to complete the image, top it off an impression of the Flower Pot Men.

[almo2001]

@Rathko

hahah yeah. Had someone try to explain it to me when i lived in the UK.

[Rebochan]

@Rathko I watched because so many Brits I've chatted with mention it. I'm not sure I get it either O_O

[loaccoal]

@Rathko all the E numbers in the sweets ! lol

[dudedude270]

@Rathko this and dylan the stoned rabbit (magic roundabout)
