Clangers Overview - Radio Wol

LAST TIME ON CLANGERS: A human astronaut known as Maggie, a CBeebies Stargazing presenter, came to the little blue planet to meet the Clangers. A once encounter with Major and a few welcome gifts lead to Maggie befriending the Clangers and failing to drink the Soup Dragon's famous soup (OI! That's because she had her helmet on) and when she left, she left the Clangers with a superb gift: a blow up planet earth which the Clangers played with.

And now, our thrilling next episode...

Major emerges from his workshop. Granny suggests he should go fishing, then takes a nap.

Cue the Music Boat take off sequence.

The Iron Chicken dances and sings with her radio whilst she dusts her nest, but one loud note and the radio explodes. Oh no! Major goes to investigate, and has to have a problem with spanners. Yes, spanners. But the radio doesn't seem to respond. Major takes it back to the Clangers' planet to fix it in his workshop. We see Major looking inside the radio, which means we get to see what makes it work. He gets tangled up in wiring and gets in a muddle with his tools, as if he doesn't know how they work.

No sign of Tiny and Small.

Mother puts away the Music Boat, and Major has run out of Moonflower Oil. But when the chicken returns, her radio has been smashed to bits! She panics, much like Mr. and Mrs. Pontipine when they lose their children, and rages at Granny before storming away to find Major.

She returns to her nest in a very bad mood....until the Wols return. Last time you and I met them the Iron Chicken had her wings full because of the babies. The Wols decide to be the Iron Chicken's radio, but despite the Iron Chicken's frustration, they play a nice tune to make her happy. If only I saw the Wol episodes when they premiered.

At last, Major fixes the Iron Chicken's radio and music plays, whilst the Iron Chicken is too busy singing along with the Wols. When Major returns the radio to the Iron Chicken, she prefers the music of the Wols, so with Major they enjoy the music of the Wols together. Now the only music we'll wait for tonight is Tee and Mo's world famous bedtime song, even though Tee and Mo went on an adventure a few minutes earlier.

Bad news: no Tiny and Small. That's because they're in my stories. GASP! How magical! The world can be full of magic after all, because I wrote Tiny and Small out of the episode! Oh my god! How did this happen?! HOW?! HOW?! Anyway, the real thing I meant to say is I included Tiny and Small in an autism friendly picture storybook about the I.B.F.Fs, which I am writing right now. It's simple, really, perfect for those who can't stand loooooooong sentences, but luckily, we'll see Tiny and Small tomorrow night, after a helping of Moon & Me.

See you tomorrow night, Tiny and Small!
