'Lo;
     The Clangers were the finest knitted pink aliens in the history of
SF-
look at http://www.clangers.co.uk/ for images etc.  They appeared in
about 2
dozen 10 minute shows from the late '60s\early '70s.  Other frequent
participants were the Froglets, the Iron Chicken and the Soup Dragon and
her
child.	Completely charming.
