[TV] Moon Creature

[el punal]

It's the summer silly season and time to solve a mystery that has been bugging me for decades. I was born in '55 so this gives you a start to the era I'm talking about. Some-when, late 60's or early 70's, I remember watching a documentary on TV about a missing film reel from either the moon or mars. The programme goes on the hunt for the film, finally locating it. Final scene of the show is the video which shoes movement and some creature living on the moon. At the time it scared me to bits, but did I really watch it or was it a dream. I've searched the web but found nothing. I also know that it was shown on 1st April. Someone out there must be my age and remember this show.

If it was the moon, then blessed are the cheese makers.

The soup dragon lived on the same planet as the clangers...in a crater...unlike the metal chicken that lived in a nest (also metal) that was a satellite of the clangers world.

I’m pretty sure that I THOUGHT the clangers lived on the moon because of the craters etc. But I see another correspondent has debunked this theory.

I’ve just looked it up and they all lived on and in a small planet far far away.

The metal chicken lives in the middle of a roundabout on the edge of Dorking.

That is soothing to my soul. The thought of all those knitted aardvarks and dragons living so close to me makes me physically sick.

The Clangers

Fabulous programme.

The nest, if memory serves, was made of all sorts of old metal shit...spanner’s, bed springs, bits of pipe and whatnot..is the Dorking Chicken similarly housed?

There are some powerful search options on IMDB I did a quick try but didnt have any luck. Knowing what you are looking for you would probably be able to narrow it down more easily.

This?

YESSSSSSSSSSS.
But your version misses the climax.

From the 49th minute, just as I remember it. It's just sent shivers down my back all over again.
Thanks good people of NSC

The nest of the Dorking Chicken (actually a Cockerel) is a transient mix of coke cans, crisp packets and chip cartons.

It doesn’t look comfortable.
