So as a kid, what was your favourite TV programme?

And if you have kids now... what is your favourite they watch? We all know you secretly watch too!!

For me, it's Funhouse when I was a kid and Ben & Holly now.

Ben & Holly is fantastic with Gaston being the top performer. I likes Grange Hill (Zammo era) and Knightmare. Did you have a thing for Melanie and Martina from Funhouse?

"For me, it's Funhouse when I was a kid and Ben & Holly now."

I find Ben & Holly has a slight air of racism and colonialism. This is likely due to me overthinking things though.

Like I think that Sarah and Duck is entirely a dreamworld of a girl in a coma and that Wally in Wallykazam is God.

To answer the OP. Mysterious Cities of Gold was probably my favourite cartoon growing up.

As for the current crop, the aforementioned Wallykazam! and Sarah and Duck would probably be my combined choice.

I think Bobgoblin is awesome and the whimsy of Sarah and Duck is simply wonderful.

Yes I remember that. Tony Hart started on there. The workman animation, the crazy furry worm that the guy with a beard always tried to catch, Wilf the inventor and nutty professor! Classic.

I can forgive Norman as he's just a kid.

The handyman is worse. He's so incompetent and grates on my nerves! I'm not sure how he's still in a job with some of the disasters he's caused.

The amount of tax payers money they spend on calling the emergency services out in Pontypandy is ridiculous.

Fireman Sam is fit though, it's a shame he's married to his job!

Kids TV was fucked up when I was a kid, you had the magic roundabout where everyone was fucked out of their heads on drugs, trumpton with windy Miller falling asleep d*unk in the street on cider, Mr Ben with his multiple personality disorder and grange Hill where the kids..

Formed neo nazi groups

Got involved in football hooliganism

Got hooked on smack

And got pregnant

Yet none of them uttered a single swear word
