Why Do Clangers Whistle?

I watched the Clangers on CBeebies the other morning with my grandson.

The Clangers was created by Oliver Postgate. The series is narrated by Michael Palin.

The Clangers are a family of adorable knitted aliens that live on and inside a small blue planet; they look a tiny bit like an elephant with a trunk, but they have no ears, and they’re Pink in colour!

To communicate with each other they whistle; they also have some very unusual friends like the Soup Dragon and the Iron Chicken?

The stories and animation are great. The theme tune sounds quite dainty it reminds me of a merry go round.

This children’s series is very entertaining and also shows problem solving.

In my opinion it’s a lovely series that show family and friendship, you could say they’re a close knit family!

It reminds me of when I was a child; I never knew the Clangers were Pink as our television was a black and white set!

My final thought; if we communicated in whistles, what would the sound of a child’s frustration sound like? What do you think?

Watch an episode now and tell me what you think?
