I absolutely love Channel 4's 100 Greatest Kids' TV Shows, a countdown programme that used to air in 2001 then repeated in 2007, which taught us about 100 of the greatest kids' TV series in Britain. If you've watched this special the first time, chances are you remember some of the shows on there such as my favourites on the list: He Man, Chorlton & The Wheelies, Sooty and Blue Peter. Which from the list are your favourites?
Hooray, a thread starting with a post discussing
British TV instead of American TV!
In the '90s I was under 10, and I loved PlayDays (except I was scared of Wobble the Clown and Humphrey), ChuckleVision, Bodger and Badger, and...can't seem to remember any others. I'd watch them every day after school at 3.30pm.
When I was 10 I was into the Tweenies, which I watch on Youtube to this day. And as a teenager I watched My Parents Are Aliens.
I was never into Grange Hill though until I was 27, when my brother had ordered my mum box sets of the first 4 series, and me and my mum both watched them together. I got so heavily into it that I got my brother to order me the box sets of series 5-10. I never got further than series 10 though, but I've seen a few of the episodes from the '90s and 2000s and they don't feel like Grange Hill any more, as they lose their cockney accents and have too modern hairstyles.
Although Grange Hill was on children's programmes, I don't think it'd be suitable for children if they were to put it back on TV now, as it had sex and drug references and the whole thing from series 1-10 seemed quite adult-orientated, minus swearing. But shows don't have to have swearing in to be for adults, as there are plenty of shows that are for adults but don't swear in.
