Kent animators Peter Firmin and Oliver Postgate's classic Clangers to be resurrected for 21st Century
19:00, 19 March 2015
The BBC is resurrecting everyone's favourite whistling pink space-mice, created by Kent animators Peter Firmin and Oliver Postgate.
Postgate's son Daniel is writing the scripts for the re-imagined Clangers, and production of the much-loved children's TV show is already underway.
The Clangers was last regularly on air in the 1970s.
The show features a colony of small, pink knitted creatures who speak in distinctive whistles.
They eat blue soup, provided for them by the benevolent Soup Dragon who shares their rocky, moon-like planet.
The 21st century version will be shown on the BB's children's channel, CBeebies.
