Dropping a Clanger!

They're back! Along with Thunderbirds, Paddington and a host of other children's classics, those funny little knitted creatures with swanny-whistle voices are set to return to our screens... today!



I can't wait. I've signed up (or been signed up) to some of the pre-publicity and was devastated not to be able to make the previews, or the studio tours. They sent a consolation prize, though - some stickers and swanny-whistles and... some knitting wool and a knitting pattern. And as the kids are already in a state of high excitement (the DVD of the original series is a firm favourite of theirs... and mine) I've had to resist the pressure to purchase knitting needles and start casting off with every fibre of my being. Thankfully, Grandma is coming. She is good at knitting. Watch this space!
