From The Clangers to Danger Mouse - TV classics revamped

Today marks the return of The Clangers to children’s television – 46 years after the original show first launched.

Michael Palin is narrating the updated version of the British animated TV show on CBeebies, and while the pink creatures and their high pitched tooting voices remain the same, they have been updated for modern kids.
The Clangers is the latest in a long line of kids’ shows to get a contemporary makeover. Here’s a look at some other new takes on some old favourites.

Danger Mouse
This 80s cartoon about a secret agent mouse and his hamster friend Penfold was originally voiced by David Jason and Terry Scott.
But now he is making a comeback in HD, no doubt armed with all the latest gadgets, voiced by Pointless host Alexander Armstrong.
