Clangers episodes

  • Episode 7: VW's platform boots, the toilet break TT and a set of Bora clubs

    In the episode we're calling episode 7 for legal reasons, Tom, Craig and Mike discuss the almost-too-many-to-count Clangers that owed their existence to the Volkswagen Group's PQ34 platform - aka the Golf platform. Including (but not limited to), the Audi A3, Škoda Octavia, VW Beetle and Bora and the SEAT Leon and Toledo.


    We also discover what new crate(s) Mr Craig Cheetham has acquired this week. What larks.

  • Episode 6: Topless treat: MGF and BMW Z3 roadsters special!

    In the episode known under its codename of episode 6, Tom, Craig and Mike discuss their favourite topless models - and decide whether the MGF and the BMW Z3 are worthy members of the Clangers Hall of Fame. Is Rover's cobbled together MGF greater the sum of its (Metro) parts, and was the BMW Z3 overrated?


    We also discover what new crate(s) Mr Craig Cheetham has acquired this week. What larks.

  • Episode 4: The cars that killed themselves: Audi A2 + Mercedes A-Class

    In the episode we're cryptically titling episode 4, Tom, Craig and Mike discuss the small German cars that proved masters of their own downfall – the Mercedes A-Class (which fell foul of an Elk) and the Audi A2, (which fell foul of the accountants). We also discover what new crate(s) Mr Craig Cheetham has acquired this week. What larks.

  • Episode 3: The Joy of Six (and a bit of MINI on the side)

    In the episode we're marketing to global markets as episode 3, Tom, Craig and Mike discuss the merits and (many) failings of the Fiesta Mk6 (or Mk5 depending on location) and the rebooted MINI R50 - often referred to as the BMW Mini (although Craig takes issue with that.) We also discover what new crate Craig has acquired this week.

  • Episode 2 - The English Patience: Rover 75 + Jaguar X-Type

    In the show we're logically calling Episode 2, Tom, Craig and Mike discuss the Jaguar X-Type and the Rover 75 – two great cars that managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. We discuss what went right (not much) and what went wrong with these two prestige British clangers.
