=E. Conclusion (100-150 words) Tips]=

In conclusion, I have found that references in the children’s tv series ‘The Clangers’ mostly relate to the space race rather than to Cold War conflict //per se//. Judging by what I found out about cold war mentalities, the space race seemed to be a different thing altogether, people followed this more than the events in the cold war, John F Kennedy even stated; ‘I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this deacade is out’ it seems to be more propaganda and competition, which evidently was what the cold war was all about. Oliver Postgate’s ‘The Clangers’ is a programme that is loaded with one persons opinion which was probably what some people agreed with but from what I have found indicates that there was a balance, some people saw it all as ‘a fantastic achievement’ and others ‘a waste of money’. Thus, ‘The Clangers’ is a definite reflection of mentalities but more towards the space race which is evidently part of the cold war itself.
