Peppa Pig has started to be pushed aside now in favour of Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom. This follows the adventures of Ben the elf, Holly the fairy and the other inhabitants of the Little Kingdom. It’s another one which the girls love on one level but there are little jokes that are funny from an adult perspective too.Buy a single copy of FUN TO LEARN FAVOURITES or a subscription of your desired length, delivered worldwide. Current In February 1968, Ed 'Stewpot' Stewart took over from Crowther and was the host for eleven years, attracting more than 17million listeners. The style became less cosy and less reverent. As tastes changed, new favourites were added; pop records, as opposed to records specifically for children, were requested more frequently as the 1970s progressed. [ citation needed] Among the records frequently played were "A Windmill in Old Amsterdam" by Ronnie Hilton, " Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh" by Allan Sherman and "My Brother" by Terry Scott. The show was peppered with catch-phrase jingles such as "'Ello Darlin'", recorded by an unknown patient at a hospital in Billericay and " Happy Birthday to You" sung by an eight-year-old boy from a football club in Crosskeys, on the team coach after the match. The Ello Darlin jingle was featured until Stewart's last show in 2015, although Rice did revive it on the 2020 and 2021 Christmas editions. [8]

Colin Fox as the Professor, Stephanie Morgenstern as Tiger Lily and Wayne Robson as the Sage of Um. This deeply funny, sweet show follows Dipper and Mabel – children who are spending summer in the paranormal-incident-bedevilled town of the title. In each episode they grapple with spooky phenomena, while dealing with the usual 12-year-old troubles. Destined to be a classic. Forget Blue Peter. The height of ambition for every 1980s child was undoubtedly inclusion in Tony Hart’s gallery, which was the centrepoint of this superb art instruction show (available on YouTube). Not only that, it introduced claymation superstar Morph to the world. Favourite Nursery Rhymes - Bow Wow Wow Says the Dog, The Wheels on the Bus and A Frog he Would a Wooing Go There has been no shortage of great screen adaptations of London’s most famous bear from darkest Peru, but this 1970s stop-motion animation is the only one scripted by Michael Bond himself. It’s a wry, lo-fi delight, unfailingly soothing and smile-inducing.My girls love the adventures of Nelly and her little sister Nora on a caravan park. The programme focuses on different types of weather (Nelly and Nora’s clothes change to reflect the weather in each episode). I think a lot of the appeal of this programme for my girls is that they can see their own sibling relationship reflected in the relationship between Nelly and Nora. Jessica will often tell me that she is like Nelly and Sophie is like Nora. In 2007 Stewart returned as host for a one-off programme during Radio 2's 40th Birthday celebrations in September and then what has become a regular Christmas special, starting on Christmas Eve that year, and then every Christmas Day from 2008 onwards (except 2016). The last of these featuring Stewart as host was in 2015, as he died suddenly just two weeks later, aged 74, on 9 January 2016.

The programme played requests from children of all ages. For the first 11 years of its run, the programme was introduced by Derek McCulloch, known as Uncle Mac. McCulloch's grandfatherly tone was quintessentially 'old-school' BBC. [2] His opening words "Hello children, everywhere!", his catch-phrase was a modification of his much earlier closing words "Goodnight children, everywhere" on Children's Hour. [3] Fun to Learn Favourites features your children’s best loved TV characters, like the Mr Men, Thunderbirds, PJ Masks, PAW Patrol, Baby Shark, Peppa Pig, Hey Duggee and more! This is a fabulous programme for teaching young children about various landmarks around the world. In each episode, the Go Jetters and their mentor Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn, have to save a landmark from being damaged or destroyed by Grandmaster Glitch and his Grimbots. Each episode ends with the Go Jetters taking a “souvenir selfie” at the landmark. Jessica was very keen to visit Stonehenge recently because of seeing it on Go Jetters. She wanted to have a souvenir selfie with the Go Jetters too!For an introduction to British comedy, few shows can surpass Aardman’s paramount pairing: the optimistic cheese-loving inventor and his eye-rolling beagle. It’s 34 years since A Grand Day Out, but their adventures are as fresh and charming as ever. Enduring and iconic, the Teletubbies have been a TV mainstay since the 1990s. So pan-generational is their appeal that these four custard-obsessed toddler aliens have recently been revamped by Netflix in the US, with Kimmy Schmidt’s Tituss Burgess as narrator. This is the only BBC Children's Favourites VHS to include Joshua Jones and Tales of the Tooth Fairies. A slide showing 2 children's titles, " Pingu 4 - Pingu the Chef" and " The Very Best of Watch with Mother". Looking like Mr Bean reincarnated as a claymation bird, this resoundingly quirky animation has captured the hearts of multiple generations. It’s a pleasingly retro slice of stop-motion fun that traverses child-pleasing toilet humour and physics-defying absurdity.

Some of my earliest memories of children’s TV are of watching Rainbow with Geoffrey, Bungle the bear, George the pink hippo and Zippy, the – well, whatever Zippy was. There were songs from Rod, Jane and Freddy and I can also vividly remember singing a rude version of the theme song in the school playground which was the funniest thing ever at the time. Before they created the wonderful sitcom Ghosts, an extraordinary raft of talented writers and performers adapted Terry Deary’s popular history books – and ended up making the best sketch series since The Fast Show.Junior Choice is a BBC Radio programme originally broadcast from 1967 until 1982 with Christmas specials from 2007 until 2015 and again since 2017.
