CHARACTER PROFILE FOR Clangers – Small and Tiny

The Clangers television show was originally aired in the UK between 1969 and 1972.  In 2015 the show returns: a new stop-motion animation series is due to air on CBeebies in early 2015.

The new series will retain many recognisable characteristics from the original series, including the Clangers’ unique whistle-speak, characters such as the Soup Dragon and the setting on a planet in space.

UK personal appearances of Small and Tiny – the children of Mother and Major Clanger – are available to book exclusively through Rainbow Productions.

Who is Small?  He’s the most adventurous of the family. He is practical, determined and curious which, despite his best intentions, sometimes leads to an element of chaos amongst the Clangers.

Who is Tiny?  As well as being Small’s younger sister, traits include her being musical, artistic and instinctive.  She is also a loyal friend with a kind and gentle nature.
