Clangers to make TV return

[Trinity]

I guess I applaud things like the clangers coming back because so many modern kids programmes seem to be high octane hyperactive bonkers. I agree that there should be some new creative risks taken, but a move away from the "in your face" garishness that's rammed in kids faces right now.

Sure but the Clangers is Slo-mo bonkers. I mean there's a soup dragon on the moon. Let that sink in. I take your point, it seems like now they are all developed by twenty something coke-headed business types whereas in the seventies they seemed to be developed by opium addicted eccentrics.

Still at least they aren't making Winston the English Defence Bulldog.

I wonder if producers ever ever ask kids what they want to watch.

You bloody had me going there!

I'm surprised there haven't yet been attempts at hypnosis and mind control.

Television tends to be nothing but hypnosis and mind control and I don't mean that in a "alien jews run the guverment!" type way.

I totally agree. I was actually thinking psychedelic spirals and monotone shit

They really should let kids do their own stuff. My youngest totally floors me with her humour and wit.

That's because they've programmed you to think that with movies such as Parallax View and Manchurian Candidate and the spirals spinning spinning, making your eyes heavy and you feel sleepy. Just relax , relax, clear your mind and ask yourself, are you getting the most out of your skincare creams?
