Long before streaming and tablets, kids gathered round the telly for a magical half hour after school. Some of these shows shaped entire generations of Brits.

Blue Peter
The BBC institution that taught us all how to make a Tracy Island out of washing-up bottles. Earning a Blue Peter badge was the ultimate childhood flex.

Bagpuss
Only 13 episodes were ever made, yet this pink-and-white moggy became a national treasure. Emily's shop of forgotten things still tugs at the heartstrings.

Grange Hill
Gritty school life with proper storylines about bullying, drugs and dodgy dinners. That opening sequence with the sausage on a fork is pure nostalgia fuel.

Rainbow
The unlikely household of a talking pink hippo, a zip-mouthed nuisance and a giant bear. Somehow made perfect sense at breakfast time.

Playdays
The Playbus rolled through Why Bird stop, Patch stop and Peggy's stop with cheerful abandon. Comfort viewing for the pre-school crowd of the 80s and 90s.
