GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR CLANGER
NEW CLANGERS SERIES LAUNCHES WITH POP UP EXPERIENCE ‘CALL THE CLANGERS’ IN BATTLE BRIDGE PLACE, KING’S CROSS N1C
The Clangers sent a message to Planet Earth…
This weekend, families in King’s Cross N1C were able ‘Call the Clangers’ via a pop-up pink knitted London phone box with a phone line straight through to pre-schooler’s favourite little blue planet.
Infamous UK yarnstormer Deadly Knitshade (Lauren O’Farrell) and crafter Teasemade (Sami Teasdale) created a Clangers phone box cosy, and the art installation magically transformed a traditional red London phone box into a Clangers experience, where families heard the loveable, pink, mouse-like creatures whistle a mysterious message to the world.
The pop up experience was installed at Battle Bridge Place, the gateway to King’s Cross and St Pancras International stations.
Children and parents could approach the phone box and ‘Call the Clangers’. Via a special pink phone they were put through to the international space exchange, then introduced to the Clangers by show narrator Michael Palin so they could guess the message that Tiny ‘whistled’ to them.
The Clangers costume characters were on hand to keep children and families entertained with dances, stickers and activity sheets.
The message was revealed via Clangers’ social media channels @helloclangers and facebook.com/
Coolabi Group’s multi-award winning pre-school animated series Clangers returns to CBeebies from Monday 23rd May at 6pm with 24 x 11-minute brand new episodes about the loveable, pink, mouse-like creatures who communicate in whistles and eat soup from their little blue planet’s soup wells.
The episodes follow Major, Mother, Small, Tiny and Granny Clanger on a whole host of new adventures. The Clangers are joined by friends old and new as they explore their little blue planet, stumbling upon un-discovered caves and tunnels, finding new places to practice music, knit a jumper and play.
