I was bored, ok?
Any (better than me) Photoshop users out there want to suggest some other Clanger variant movie pics?

5 Intelligent Comments and Observations:
Risking some embarrassment, I have to ask: what is a clanger?
Okay, I just googled them, as I should have done originally.
I would suggest the final scene from Casablanca, although the hats might cause some challenge.
Also what about as Paul Henreid and Bette Davis in the final scene from Now Voyager, elegantly and tearfully blowing smoke into each other's faces.
Oh! Brief Encounter.
Plus Gladiator.
Okay, I'll belt up now.
As described in the previous post, the Clangers were a classic late 1960s/early 1970's British kids show. Checkout this link on Youtube - it's the majority of a whole episode.

The Clangers are a fond childhood memory for many British people of a certain age (i.e. me)
You should get bored more often, I want a 3ft wide poster of the King Kong one!
Hmmmm ... am I missing a marketing opportunity here?
Of course, you do realise that the Clangers did make a guest appearance on Dr Who once? During the Pertwee years there was a story where the Master (Roger Delgado) was imprisoned in a lighthouse and seemed to mistake the TV show for real aliens.
