Growing up in the UK, in the 90s and 00s, when you didn’t have more than terrestrial TV, and the 4, eventually 5, basic channels, meant you were either mostly a CBBC kid or a CITV kid. We were the latter.
So we were watching:
Art Attack
Woof!
Bernard’s Watch
My Parents are Aliens
Fun House
Finders Keepers
Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids
The Worst Witch
How 2
Roger and the Rotten Trolls
Old Bear Stories
Rosie and Jim
The list can probably go on a lot longer, but those are the ones I remember the most. Of course there were a few CBBC shows in the mix too. Grange Hill, Byker Grove, Blue Peter. But, mostly, we were watching CITV for our kids shows.
(I was also watching Star Trek too, and Quantum Leap, etc, a baby nerds still got to nerd lol)
