I liked the story that all the Clanger whistling was actually scripted dialogue, and in one episode where a door sticks, Major Clanger is actually shouting "Sod it, the bloody things stuck again!"
When they released the speaking Clanger dolls a few years ago, the manufacturers asked Postgate what audio he wanted to put on the voice box. Guess what millions of childrens toys are whistling when you squeeze them...
