Clangers Overview - Baby Skymoo

LAST TIME ON CLANGERS: The Clangers, especially Small Clanger, learnt about death when they happened to encounter a star whose light faded away. The series is getting sadder and sadder, I don't know what has gotten into it.

And now, a new youngster is going to be next in line in the set of young characters tonight....

Earlier today we spent a whole few minutes looking at real and animated fish with Dee in Yakka Dee, but to calm down we're following a Skymoo to the Clangers' planet. Tiny is asleep in her bed when she hears the Iron Chicken on her radio hat. She calls Small and invites him to hear the message, which sounds pretty urgent. They take off in the Music Boat and see a Skymoo rolling a ball of junk past her nest. The Skymoo is taking junk, and so are its bretheren! Tiny and Small land back on the planet and witness the junk crash onto the planet surface.

This alerts all the Clangers, and they investigate the junk, only to find it's the Skymoo's keep. The Skymoos feel pretty hungry, and as Mother goes to fetch some food for them, they happen to build a nest. Mother returns with tasty garden clippings, but the Skymoos refuse them, so Small and Tiny go to fetch Granny's knitting. Tiny arranges some flowers and the two take their gifts up to the planet surface. Granny speed knits, and Tiny decorates the nest with flowers with her family's help. They place a blanket of circles into the nest, and it makes a lovely home for the Skymoos.

More Skymoos gather, and one lands in the nest. The Clangers, who usually welcome visitors, retreat back into their cave and have a meeting in the living cave. After the meeting, they decide to have soup, but Tiny witnesses the Skymoos' gathering to witness sparks of light. All the other Clangers watch, then quietly come out and see a baby Skymoo! Since I saw it on Nick Jr Classics, I haven't seen any baby Skymoo like this, but his moos sound a little sad. Tiny and Small teach Baby Skymoo how to walk, and feed him, and teach him remarkably to fly, to which he does in sweet success. The Skymoos and their new baby leave us and the Clangers, and we are left to head off to the Night Garden until the dawning of a new Clangers adventure tomorrow night.

Goodnight, Tiny. Goodnight, Small.
