The Clangers - Treasure

[StunnedByStupidity]

I used to find all this stop motion stuff creepy as a child (especially the herbs - I have heard others really creeped out by the witch in Chalton and the Wheelies - and Charlie Brooker said MANY childrens programs creeped him out in the 70's/80's) - now I watch as an adult it STILL creeps me out...I think its the bizarre lifelessness compared to living animals that does it - it's like they are somehow 'soulless'...

[creatorofworld]

Jesus

[arranturtonskater]

my childhood:)

[calloomb]

What exactly IS the "soup" they drink? :S

[MaidenFan24568]

Trying to explain the clangers to someone whos never heard of them makes it sound like you spend childhood on acid

[creatorofworld]

@MaidenFan24568 Yeah :P Everyone looks at me wierd when I try to explain

[OrochiOni]

I grew up with stuff like this.

I spend most of my adult life in asylums.

[IcyNoodles4]

1:45 to 2:20 is the greatest moment in the history of childrens television. Granny Clanger don't give a f***!

[creatorofworld]

@IcyNoodles4 Hah

[FranThePan]

The Clangers are so cute. I love the older really British children's programmes like this.

[mrduffy1100]

Something French about the way they speak.

[freestyleminibus]

Tiny Clanger and Capitalism



[miniconnboo]

Why can't kids still watch this, it's better than all the rubbish on now.

[parrotgirl87]

the moan how the teletubbies etc doesnt teach kids to talk properly! Do they not remember this!!

[holylemon98]

the mashed up sounds in the background are funny ahah :)

[Kir0l]

5 people got killed by the soup dragon.

[flores600]

I just found this by browsing it is great and I love it. The sock material/cotton/ the whole thing is done wonderfully

[benjabby]

Even though I'm only 15 :P this still brings back memories, I spent most of my childhood in hospital and they played all these old programmes over and over again.

Does any one remember a stop motion thing with a rubber duck and a spoon person? :L?

[NodDisciple1]

@benjabby Are you OK? :(

[m3mphisundaground]

Memories <3

[RadicalPresident]

ishitmypantswhen i watched this at the age of 4

[caaohara]

Holy shit, my childhood is flashing before my eyes. Totally forgot about this.

[julabhon]

I just spent about 2 hours trying to remember this show. I remember watching it as a kid when my Dad was stationed in England back in the early '70'S. All I could remember was that they spoke no words, lived on the moon and had trash can lids as doors....Sooooooo glad I found it. Thank you for posting the episodes.

[MustBeMagick]

What brilliant principles this children's show subtly teaches, money isn't all that valuable, it's real things and people that are valuable. Like the cotton wool ball game much more fun than playing with money!

[Rubieraoreilly]

@MustBeMagick Never picked up on that before, but now you mention it, it's very clear. Good point (I'm 44 !!)

[SpaceInStereo]

Oh, I laughed all the way through this! Haha.

Haha, a cotton wool tree :L

[TheJaydiddymercer]

how old is clangers? i think i stil got the video acctully... ..a net... i net full of shiny gold ''chocolatte'' coins.

[TheJaydiddymercer]

how old is clangers? i think i stil got the video acctully...

[suede79]

Shame they have to use their testicles for medical experiments.

[Zanarkke]

Can't believe people used to watch the emotionless drivel.

[Morganhello123]

This program is immense :)

[rabblue]

this is good a feel 103

[nix231]

is that a bag of chocolate money?

[emma5977]

it taught us lads and lasses socialism. - No bad thing

[frippp66]

What happened to Father Dragon? Is the Soup Dragon a one-parent family?

[larjanus]

@frippp66 Father Dragon? What do you think the soup is made from?

[JessSprinkles4]

4:46 made me laugh! xD

[TheMusicmonkey98]

my mum loves it

[4axa]

ha lol he chucks a coin at tiny clangers head

[nhbshock]

@4axa BOOOM!! Headshot.... oh god, what has modern life done to me.

[delthafunky333]

adorable!

[RllyCoco]

Awww...Hear The Sound At 2:18 xD

[Starryvideos]

did anyone see the one that freaked me out

on this documentary a clanger got run over?

[MsPeachy3]

Watching this was as if the last 30 odd years have disappeared.  I remember it so clearly.

[cadizduende]

Hysterical! Banger Clanger does NOT want THAT! BOF! xDD

[Kurolli]

xDDDD

"Banger clanger dosent want that!"

*lob* *BOOF* xDD

[GraceUnderPressure1]

@Kurolli He says "Granny Clanger", there is no "Banger Clanger" at all.

[diabl2master]

@Kurolli granny clanger

[Lytinweedle]

Long live the soup dragon and the iron chicken!

[dudedude270]

major clanger, mother clanger, baby clanger and tiny clanger

have i missed any?

[Succubus1982]

@dudedude270 Small clanger.

[dudedude270]

@Succubus1982 thanks

[lukeman527]

i like to belive there real :) lol

[gunterdak]

as an American who grew up in the 90's I can safely say that this is officially the greatest thing i have ever seen!

the part about fishing from the music boat was especially enjoyable, but i would say that my favorite was this moment here: 2:18

[gunterdak]

@gunterdak oh sorry i meant "favourite"

[HackneySack]

@gunterdak I'm exactly the same. I wish we had kids shows like this growing up.

[baldcat59]

God bless you Oliver.

[Darksongofshadowclan]

D'aw, I love The Clangers!

[xHAZELRAHx]

Damn, the British had the best kid's shows XD

[Darksongofshadowclan]

@xHAZELRAHx *nods* yes, we do. XD

[misslizziesparrow]

SoupDragon FTW XD

[rupertandbill]

granny clanger has wacked tiny clanger!

shocking!

[MultiGrimeking]

my mates the clangers, thanks for the steak and chips today boys, see u friday night for some mashmello pie !!!!!!

[elixir101]

Fantastic quality - thanks for sharing - used to love this as a child.

[radix707]

2:16 the bit where Granny Clanger flings that coin like Oddjob's steel-rimmed bowler hat just cracks me up. "Granny Clanger doesn't want that!" Vicious old Dowager.

[Technomadik]

Trying to explain The Clangers to a non-English person is like saying you were on Acid or some other drug for the most part of your young life.

[SuicidalAngel654]

@Technomadik

LOL :D Never realised that and I completely agree!

[XxkikicutiepiexX]

I used to love this wen I was younger

[sparkmeister]

Ah the morality

don't spend all you're time focussing on money, play with cotton wool and set the table as well

also money is chocolate

[IndieRokker247]

OHH TINY CLANGER YOU REBEL! i can imagine this conversation between mother and (?) daughter..

'come and sit at the table'

'errrm... NO!'

SIT DOWN AT THAT FUCKING TABLE BEFORE I SHOVE THAT MONEY UP YOUR ARSE!!!'

[gli96187]

7:40 I am not going to ask how Soup Dragon get the soup.

[MisuzuKisaragi]

HAHA

[dudedude270]

[pixiewilson42]

This was one of my favourite programmes..I was pretty smalll but it left a huge psychedelic impression on me!!!

[psychobollox]

i loved it too - and so does my daughter, who thinks it's piss-funny!

[Spedding101]

I wish I was alive when this sort of stuff was on

[MsMANHEAD]

creepy as fuck

[carbiify]

Baby dragon has a very distinctive sound. This program is the tops.

[bernardevans]

Id love to see Clangers Vs Daleks

[psychobollox]

daleks wouldbe buggered by all the hills!

[billybadbrakes]

The cleaner where I used to work once knitted me a clanger! I was so chuffed, I made her some soup!!

[psychobollox]

[billybadbrakes]

The very same!!!

[psychobollox]

[XanderPrime]

[dragforcebrad]

[jamiroquaiiscool]

[dudedude270]

5:31 lol

[Rmg12]

haha this is brilliant -it was on in the 90s - i remember it too. Its hilarious when it throws the coin

[RipTheRam]

On in the 90's ? It was what formed my childhood in the early 70's.

[coruscantplanet]

@Rmg12 Yeah I watched it in the 90s, it was a great show. I reckon kids today would like it too.

The end was the funniest bit :)

[mrJaney101]

this brings back memories for us.

WE can't get into it anymore.

[ladysith13]

2:06-2:20 kill me! Poor Tiny

[tinyliltodler]

my mum used to make stuffed toys of the clangers...keep 'em on telly ! x

[abre01]

Brilliant!!!

Actually there were no clangers on TV here in Germany. I just came to the clangers because they are mentioned by DCI Gene Hunt in Life on Mars: "Where are you today, here or planet of the Clangers?" :-)

[marmiteboy99]

but, punkraprockboy, i love their whistling!

they whistle to me.

[PunkRapRockBoy]

arghhhhh!!!

I had nightmares about the clangers,with their whistling =(

[emeliUK]

haha aww bless

[xxchloxxable]

Has anyone heard the Moon Chav song? They eat Clangers :(

[emeliUK]

hahahaha omnomom nom nom

[MoominCloud]

Granny got what was coming to her! EXCELLENT.

[Excunbula]

[fishcake1235]

2.14 - It was a harsh call granny clanger

[ferahgo90]

*tink* omg you cow!

[themurdeer]

I liked in history ou!! super loving romance

seee!

[xEastendersx]

gotta love the clangers

[Jez32uk]

Oliver Postgate R.I.P.

[kpuc1973]

interesting.

are these creatures speaking in a scottish accent?

it's just as intelligable

[dyndan19]

I do believe it is spelt intelligible.

[kpuc1973]

I am not sure whether your beliefs come into it, however the spelling you offered is indeed correct.

Any other theological views to share?

[dyndan19]

That was the best come back on youtube I have read, EVER!

No seriously, I'm not being sarcastic. Usually it's just some string of profanity and then someone writes 'jk'.

If I caused offence, it was not intended. I was tipsy and when I get tipsy I correct spelling.

[CordeliaPops]

Wasn't the words for The clangers scripted, the stuff the Clangers' said?

I heard that from somewhere, would be interesting to know!

[billabongodrum]

some played the notes the clangers were saying, yes, but then one of the performers whistled a mild profanity "damn" or something, so the producers made them play random notes after that...

[ProofBloggCantDance]

yeah I believe they are... if you look at what it says about them on QI, the door gets stuck and the clangers says 'oh, damn it, the bloody things stuck again'

[sidensvans54]

Clangers are tip top!

[raahead]

The Clangers are total ledges

[ProgPortUK92]

Oliver would get payed 10 pounds a minute which at the time 10 pounds would be ALOT!

[pgdmn26]

Thank you Oliver Postgate. RIP

[simonlunn]

great

[sidensvans54]

Serious stuff.. don't underestimate the clangers!!

Way cool ..

[hazzzzzzzzzz16]

lol 2:18

[JimTLonW6]

The best programme ever put on, with impeccable environmentalist credentials!

[billabongodrum]

fire missiles at poor iron chickens... environmental credentials indeed

[womblefree]

Money you can eat, now if only the US FED and the bank of england could make that instead of worthless paper what would happen to the economy?

[ThrillerToAcid]

OMG I'm so stoned. WTF is going on.

I love this show.

[xxcheesyxlouiseyxx]

I REMEMBER THIS EPISODE !! I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS ONE !!

Omg this take me back...

[pickleboy23]

Clangers nooooooooooo not the clangers again.

My shrink convinced me they were a fiction in my mind

Ohhh help me please

God I'm so disturbed again,

They used to play loads of the older ones in the mornings like Ivor the Engine and Camberwick green.

[robcas123]

[Kitsuneranger]

Glad you liked it! :3

[CaptainTangent]

Narrator: 'The treasure, what about the treasure!?'

Tiny Clanger: 'Fuck the treasure!'
