Originally broadcast by the BBC in 1969 -1972, ' Clangers' has had somewhat of a cult following ever since. Of course they are unique in every respect, living on their own planet & eating green soup, so some deference is understandable. This soft toy really is very appealing & makes the characteristic whistling sound which transports the mind to a cold, echoing, imaginary planet in boom space exploration era, late 60s, UK. So cool...
