Season 3 • Episode 26
LatestA space dustcart drops its load on the Clangers planet. At first, the Clangers think it’s just a lot of rubbish, until they notice that one of the parts looks like a robot...
The Clangers are strange, long-nosed, pink, woolly creatures that live inside a small blue planet, which lies far, far away in space. Under the dustbin-lidded craters that cover the planet's surface is the cave system where these strange yet cuddly extraterrestrials live.
Practical Effects
Stop-motion wool creatures that look like knitted anxiety cures.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 2015 reboot brought back the original 1969 stop-motion techniques because CGI couldn't capture that handmade soul.
Michael Palin replaced the late Oliver Postgate as narrator, making him the first non-creator voice in the show's history.
