Bag romance — still a better love story than Twilight: #clangers
The Clangers is so synaesthetic. Everywhere there’s physical/visual representations of music.
#headcanon: the music and sound effects heard in The Clangers are audible interpretations of how the Clangers themselves perceive their surroundings — similar to the way bat detectors turn sonar into human-audible tones.

This honest and frankly terrifying short film about the side effects of 3D printing has changed the way I think about the future:
Every now and again I wonder if the same sort of fandoms which Adventure Time, My Little Pony et al have now would have arisen around things like The Clangers and Captain Scarlet if web culture had been as evolved (or even existed) in the 60-70s as it is now.
Would people cosplay as Jones the Steam, post videos analysing the character development in The Herbs, communicate using Noggin The Nog reaction faces and write erotic Portland Bill fanfics?
Actually, don’t answer that.
