Which classic British children's TV show from yesteryear holds the fondest place in your heart?
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.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
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.
B
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.
C
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.
D
Rainbow
The unlikely household of a talking pink hippo, a zip-mouthed nuisance and a giant bear. Somehow made perfect sense at breakfast time.
E
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.
