The telly of our childhoods shaped a whole generation of cuppa-clutching viewers. Time to rank the shows that still bring a nostalgic grin to your face.
Put the items in your preferred order.
Blue Peter
The show that convinced us we could build a Tracy Island from washing-up bottles. A proper institution with more presenters than we can count.

Bagpuss
Slow-paced, oddly hypnotic and utterly charming. Emily's shop of forgotten things still holds up decades later.
Postman Pat
Pat, Jess and that unforgettable theme tune. A gentle world where the biggest drama is a misplaced parcel.
Grange Hill
The playground drama that dared to tackle real issues. That opening sausage-on-a-fork title sequence is burned into our brains.
Rainbow
A show so surreal it's a miracle it aired at all. The theme tune alone could unlock forgotten memories in any Brit over 30.
