'The Bags' is a 1972 episode in the BBC animated children's television series The Clangers. The Clangers is an iconic British stop motion series of short stories about a family of mouse-like creatures called froglets, who live on, and in, a small grey planet in dark space. Created and narrated by Oliver Postgate.

Originally broadcast on 13 October 1972 at 4:00 pm, the episode has since been screened on the BBC's Nick Junior 2 channel, released as part of the 1993 Beebtots DVD, and published as a Time-Warner children's book in 1996.

Overview

The froglets find a romantic way to remove an unwelcome guest. A magical singing Gladstone bag is on the planet. He cause all sorts of trouble. But the Clangers find him a lady bag, and they fly off together, handle in handle, very much in love.
