My children’s experiences of watching TV are so very different. Huge, flat screen TVs showing programmes in crystal-clear high definition, like this Ultra HD TV Panasonic. A variety of different children’s TV channels to choose from throughout the day (and into the night). Plus they also have the option of watching their favourites on catch-up TV. With so many different programmes and channels to choose from, I wonder if they’ll have the same fond memories of their childhood TV favourites as I have of mine. This era-defining show has broken numerous longest-running TV records since its 1989 debut. The first 10 or 12 seasons hail from a brilliant golden age of US TV: empathetic, funny, exciting and clever all at the same time, with characters that are relatable, inspiring and hilarious. Forget Blue Peter. The height of ambition for every 1980s child was undoubtedly inclusion in Tony Hart’s gallery, which was the centrepoint of this superb art instruction show (available on YouTube). Not only that, it introduced claymation superstar Morph to the world. My girls love the adventures of Nelly and her little sister Nora on a caravan park. The programme focuses on different types of weather (Nelly and Nora’s clothes change to reflect the weather in each episode). I think a lot of the appeal of this programme for my girls is that they can see their own sibling relationship reflected in the relationship between Nelly and Nora. Jessica will often tell me that she is like Nelly and Sophie is like Nora.

The exact reason to why the two characters from Woodland Animations Ltd which are ' Postman Pat' and ' Charlie Chalk' and two characters from Bumper Films Ltd for S4C and Prism Art and Design Ltd which are ' Joshua Jones' and ' Fireman Sam' are featured on this exact video together because they are both two shows both done by each of the two different companies. These are the credits to the seventeen programmes on this video, whereas the Pingu episode on this video has one uncredited detail. Hadley Kay as Podgy Pig, Guy Bannerman as Mr. Bear, Lally Cadeau as Mrs. Bear, Keith White as Algy Pug, Do you remember any of the TV programmes I loved as a child? What are your childhood TV favourites?

In 2007 Stewart returned as host for a one-off programme during Radio 2's 40th Birthday celebrations in September and then what has become a regular Christmas special, starting on Christmas Eve that year, and then every Christmas Day from 2008 onwards (except 2016). The last of these featuring Stewart as host was in 2015, as he died suddenly just two weeks later, aged 74, on 9 January 2016. Bright, fast, cute and obnoxious, SpongeBob became a phenomenon by lightly watering down the aesthetic that John Kricfalusi pioneered with Ren & Stimpy. But this is no mere copycat. At its best, SpongeBob is violently inventive comic genius. Before they created the wonderful sitcom Ghosts, an extraordinary raft of talented writers and performers adapted Terry Deary’s popular history books – and ended up making the best sketch series since The Fast Show. Enjoy over 90 minutes of video fun with favourite friends in this lively collection of programmes featuring a selection of some of the best of British Animation. Children wrote in with requests often just to get their names mentioned on the radio. McCulloch ensured that all types of music were played whatever the majority had requested: not just children's pieces but a wide range of music from pop to hymns to the light classics.

The NSPCC and dic would like to thank the following people and companies for providing, free of any royalties, the films on this video: Hey Duggee follows the adventures of the four members of the Squirrel Club, and their scoutmaster Duggee, a big dog. The Squirrels have to learn a new skill in each episode and receive a badge for doing so at the end. I love the little touches of humour that make it quite funny from an adult perspective too. A slide showing 2 children's titles, " Pingu 4 - Pingu the Chef" and " The Very Best of Watch with Mother". This is a fabulous programme for teaching young children about various landmarks around the world. In each episode, the Go Jetters and their mentor Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn, have to save a landmark from being damaged or destroyed by Grandmaster Glitch and his Grimbots. Each episode ends with the Go Jetters taking a “souvenir selfie” at the landmark. Jessica was very keen to visit Stonehenge recently because of seeing it on Go Jetters. She wanted to have a souvenir selfie with the Go Jetters too!Eco-warrior legends The Wombles have an incredible 26 years of history on the Official Chart, and while they haven't manage to net a Number 1, they did collect four Top 10 hits. Wombling Merry Christmas is their highest charting single, peaking at Number 2 in 1974. The Muppets The programme played requests from children of all ages. For the first 11 years of its run, the programme was introduced by Derek McCulloch, known as Uncle Mac. McCulloch's grandfatherly tone was quintessentially 'old-school' BBC. [2] His opening words "Hello children, everywhere!", his catch-phrase was a modification of his much earlier closing words "Goodnight children, everywhere" on Children's Hour. [3] Every bit as charming as the adult version, with the added cuteness of precocious junior culinary geniuses. Harry Hill’s tenure as presenter infuses the show with a madcap energy that makes for a perfect parent/child watch. In February 1968, Ed 'Stewpot' Stewart took over from Crowther and was the host for eleven years, attracting more than 17million listeners. The style became less cosy and less reverent. As tastes changed, new favourites were added; pop records, as opposed to records specifically for children, were requested more frequently as the 1970s progressed. [ citation needed] Among the records frequently played were "A Windmill in Old Amsterdam" by Ronnie Hilton, " Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh" by Allan Sherman and "My Brother" by Terry Scott. The show was peppered with catch-phrase jingles such as "'Ello Darlin'", recorded by an unknown patient at a hospital in Billericay and " Happy Birthday to You" sung by an eight-year-old boy from a football club in Crosskeys, on the team coach after the match. The Ello Darlin jingle was featured until Stewart's last show in 2015, although Rice did revive it on the 2020 and 2021 Christmas editions.
