.... this was better!
Diana Rigg was HAWT!!

Phwoar yes! She set the bar for cool chicks. Loved her outfits and look!

That she was.And the theme music is still fantastic.

As an aside when I was a kid Dr Who's theme music scared the crap out of me...the modern effort just does'nt compare.

you too? I used to have bad dreams about the Dr Who music and the cyber men frightened the bejeepers outta me. I had nightmares about them.

'silliest ginger bowl cut on a puppet' awards 3 years running.

The Clangers - The BEST TV show ever made.



That one appears to have been doctored by some stupid hippies.



So What Did the Clangers Say?

I don’t have the scripts, and we just had a tantalising glimpse in the documentary, so I can’t say too much about this. And to be honest, for me it’s enough to have confirmation that, just as I knew all along, the clangers were really speaking to each other. It would spoil the magic to have it all spelled-out.

But I can’t resist sharing one particularly choice titbit of Clanger-speak:

when the BBC got the script, [they] rang me up and said “at the beginning of episode three, where the doors get stuck, Major Clanger says “sod it, the bloody thing’s stuck again”. Well, darling, you can’t say that on Children’s television, you know, I mean you just can’t.” I said “it’s not going to be said, it’s going to be whistled”, but [they] just said “but people will know!” I said no, that if they had nice minds, they’d think “oh dear, the silly thing’s not working properly”. If you watch the episode, the one where the rocket goes up and shoots down the Iron Chicken, Major Clanger kicks the door to make it work and his first words are “sod it, the bloody thing’s stuck again”.

Oooh oooh, my childhood fav was Basil Brush and Mr. Derek. (Have to confess to being very disappointed with a recent version of the Boom Boom fox I saw - it looked like the old russet fuzzy fellow I remember, but the show was complete crap. Maybe it was when I was a kid, but I didn't have the skills to discern it!!!)
