The Clangers memorably spoke in a language played on swannee
whistles. No one expected them to have scripts. But they did.
Within an ancient barn nestled in the heart of the Kent
countryside, Smallfilms founders Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin
created one of the most beloved BBC children's series of the
twentieth century: Clangers. Clangers: The Complete Scripts
1969-1974 is the ultimate compendium of scripts from the original
two series of the show in one lavishly illustrated volume. These
previously unseen scripts sit alongside original writing from
Daniel Postgate - son of the original creator Oliver Postgate -
exploring the inspiration for and lasting cultural impact of the
show, new and historical photographs, Peter's original
illustrations, Oliver's handwritten musical notations and more. The
joyful revelation that the Clangers' often colourful words were
scripted in English brings an exciting new dimension to the
Smallfilms legacy.

Hail, Caesar! is the story of Eddie Mannix, tireless pursuer of the
interests of fictional Capitol Pictures, circa 1951. He is the
ultimate studio fixer and---since the studio is his world---the
ultimate earthly one. There is no star scandal he cannot cover up,
no studio misstep he cannot repair, no sin he cannot make right.
His powers are tested, though, when production on the studio's most
expensive picture ever---biblical epic Hail, Caesar!---is halted by
the kidnapping of its star. The kidnappers are a mysterious gaggle
seeking not just ransom but the destruction of everything Eddie
Mannix lives for, and everything he lives by. . .
