Re: understanding the Clangers, I saw an interview with Oliver Postgate on one of those nostalgia shows. He said they tried to sell the Clangers to German TV. After the screening the Germans were very keen to buy the series and they were amazed that the Clangers spoke German!! So I suppose it works in most languages.
