Top Ten Children's Programmes

Mmm, my favourite TV shows as a child. Well, there were a few. I'm a child of the 80s so see how many of these you remember. Let me know your thoughts!! They're in no particular order cos I don't have an outright favourite, I always was a bookworm but I think I must have got through a fair few hours of telly! 1) Grange Hill Groundbreaking stuff, I can still see Zammo on the floor after his overdose. 'Pupils' I remember were Gonch, Hollo, Vince and the gorgeous Ant Jones! Having said that, I think I must have tuned in quite early as I do remember Suzanne and Stewpot and was the bully called Gripper? My Grandma who used to live with us used to have kittens ...  Read the complete review

In no particular order. 1) Button Moon A classic show about items made from the household such as Mr Spoon. Follow the adventures of this little creation. An imaginative watch, perhaps looking at it now it is not in comparison with the special effects of today etc but nonetheless it is a great show. 2) Rainbow Zippy, George and Bungle.

In descending order... (or is it ascending? I always get them mixed ...  Read the complete review

Well where do I start. There are so many to choose from. I'm still a big kid at heart and still love to watch cartoon every chance I get. Well here goes. In at number 10 is my earliest memory of regularly watching a children's TV programme was Button Moon. I still remember most of the theme tune "where off to button moon, with a silver spoon, button moon" Ahh, those were the good old days. Can't remember any of the episode thou I was too young. Mostly I remember the little space ship and a spoon, but I loved it as a kid. In at number 9 is another blast from my past its She Ra princess of power. I never really cared for He Man, but She Ra I ...  Read the complete review
