Children's TV Favourites - NSPCC [VHS]

Product Information

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. 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]

This is the water that all other children’s shows swim in. Funny, intelligent and proudly inclusive, it boasts legendary characters including Big Bird and Elmo, who have acted as substitute parents for generations of kids around the world.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. Woolworths have specially commissioned this exclusive 40 minute compilation of some of the most Popular Characters on Children's Video. Excerpts include Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends. Sooty & Co., Fourways Farm, Rosie & Jim, The Wind in the Willows, Teddy Bear Sing Along and Brum. 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. 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.

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. George Layton as Joshua Jones, Fairport the Dog, Ravi, Joe Laski, Wilton Cashmore, Spanner and Narrator Presenting the day’s news in a child-friendly, never patronising way, the bulletin show – which started as John Craven’s Newsround in 1972 – still delivers. It’s even broken stories, including the loss of the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1986. Do you remember any of the TV programmes I loved as a child? What are your childhood TV favourites?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.

Favourite Nursery Rhymes - Bow Wow Wow Says the Dog, The Wheels on the Bus and A Frog he Would a Wooing Go Noddy is proving himself to be a real friend in NODDY AND THE BROKEN BICYCLE and Pingu and his little sister Pinga are behaving very badly indeed in PINGU AND PINGA AT HOME. Those Funnybones skeletons, Little and Big, are trying to swap Dog for a better pet in THE PET SHOP and little Katie gets the best birthday present in the world in POSTMAN PAT'S FINDING DAY. This is the two characters from Woodland Animations Ltd and two characters from Bumper Films Ltd for S4C and Prism Art and Design Ltd in BBC Television Children's Favourites includes "Postman Pat", "Joshua Jones", "Fireman Sam" and "Charlie Chalk". 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. Eco-warrior legends The Wombles have an incredible 26 years of history on the Official Chart, and while they haven't manage to net a Number 1, they did collect four Top 10 hits. Wombling Merry Christmas is their highest charting single, peaking at Number 2 in 1974. The MuppetsThe exact reason to why the two characters from Woodland Animations Ltd which are ' Postman Pat' and ' Charlie Chalk' and two characters from Bumper Films Ltd for S4C and Prism Art and Design Ltd which are ' Joshua Jones' and ' Fireman Sam' are featured on this exact video together because they are both two shows both done by each of the two different companies.
