They had to custom make slide whistles for some of the clangers
tiny clangers voice was made from a biro.
Apparently Bagpus was supposed to be blue (and is meant to be an old English colonel from the Indian Raj), but they didn't have any blue dye, so he ended up pink.
The recording used in the Major Clanger speaking doll is from series 2, when he can't open a door. He kicks it and says "Sod it, the bloody thing's stuck again"
