She would have never given him that Knighthood, she was a mother you know admittedly her children were awful, my sister served her son when she was working for the airlines and he was an entitled dick. But nonetheless she as a mother, and there is no way had she known what he was and what he was doing to vulnerable children, both boys and girls - she would have had him fired no question about it. I don't agree with leaving him in a unmarked grave, he was vile man but he deserves a headstone.

    The death of children's television cuts me deep. I was born in 1987 so was born into the best time of televisioin. Presenters on CBBC and CITV were like part of the family, all happily introducing brightly colored cartoons and engaging television shows. When we finally got satelite TV, Nickelodeon became my favorite, I loved watching the shows they had, but not only those, I also enjoyed the interactions of the presenters and the way they intereacted with the children who were on set. By the early 2000's though, presenters had become a thing of the past, replaced instead with quick voice overs introducing shows during the credits of the previous show.

      * RUclips recommended them to me in my home feed a while back, likely as a side effect of research I was doing for a fan-fiction I was writing.

      Horrible Histories is still iconic even now. Loved it (the original 5 series run; the reboot is mostly dire from when they start focusing on one topic) and tbh I love it even more as a (young) adult. So glad the 6 idiots (what the fans call them) got thrown together on HH and are still going strong together with Yonderland, Bill (a comedy farce film about Shakespeare's 'lost years') and Ghosts. I've met Mike Peabody and Bob Hale (if you know, you know, but Ben Willbond & Larry Rickard) and they're lovely. All of them are.

It probably died around the late 90s, just after i grew out of many of them(i was born in 1987, but i was clearly a 90s kid as i watched them all about 4 years old onwards). After i stopped watching, the shows declined no doubt. I remember endless greats like Chucklevision, Art Attack, Finders Keepers, Brum, Sooty, Round The Twist, Byker Grove, Zzzap, Dennis The Menace, The Queen's Nose, Bodger And Badger, Fun House etc, plus US shows like Batman The Animated Series, Recess, Rugrats, The Real Ghostbusters, Hey Arnold, Tiny Toons, Sylvester And Tweety Mysteries etc. Clearly the great times were over a long time ago.

    My favourite UK kids show was Danger Mouse. In January 2013 the CITV channel (RIP) dedicated an entire weekend to classic CITV shows like Danger Mouse, Count Duckula, Fun House, The Sooty Show, Sooty & Co and T-Bag. Danger Mouse was the most-watched show of the entire weekend, most probably leading to it being revived by the BBC a couple of years later. It's just a shame that you didn't include CHOCKY in this list as that scared the living f*@! out of me as a kid in the 1980's.

      There's a thing where Johnny Rotten said he was banned from the Beeb because he raised issues with Jimmy Saville. The Beeb knew about Saville but turned a blind eye. Just the same as you'd hear less than subtle comments about Rolf Harris "preferring the younger generation" in an episode of the Goodies.

    I'm supprised this video didn't mention Sooty and Co. on CITV. In one particular episode Soo the panda 🐼 was pretending to be pregnant 🤰even though she wasn't. She tells Sooty, Sweep, Cousin Scampi and Matthew Corbett that she feel like she has the entire Manchester United football ⚽ team inside her. Parents complained as it clearly shoulds like innuendo, however Brenda Longman who voiced Soo in Sooty and Co. and who also played Mo on the show explained that Matthew Corbett actually wrote the episode after seeing his daughter pretending to be pregnant 🤰 and said he wtrote the episode as sort of an educational piece and that there were jokes in it for parents too. I remember the episode, but I had no idea of the controversy surrounding the episode which is called 'Soo's babies' until it read about it on Wikipedia.

      @@stephaniespragg5586 I agree with you Stephanie Spragg. Cerrie can't help the fact she was born with a limb deformity. The real issue was clearly that parents thought she would scare and / or frighten their children because they (the parents) are pushing opinions which are prejudiced towards disabled people and therefore teaching their children negative views that it's okay to be prejudiced towards disabled people which is 100% WRONG! Instead they should've explained to their children that she was born like that and that she couldn't help the way she was born, but that she (Cerrie) should be treated with kindness and respect just like everyone else, which clearly these parents don't have for the disabled.

    “The end of kids’ TV as we know it” is hardly a scandal, it means exactly that: the end of kids’ TV as we, the audience of Watchmojo, probably millennials or older Gen Z, knew it.
    I’m sorry, but we’re old. Today’s crop of kids is growing up with streaming in the same way we grew up in a golden age of broadcast television. If there’s good kids’ TV out there, they’ll find it. The challenge will be making sure it’s commissioned at a time when financial models are changing in TV and costs are rising, but that’s another story.

    • @NuttersIncorporated
      @NuttersIncorporated Год назад +29

      I get what you are saying but did you miss the bit about all the children that DON’T have internet access?
      Both CBBC (aimed at children) and BBC4 (aimed at older people) are already available online so people can stream them if they want. Making them exclusively available online adversely affect children from poorer familiars and older people who aren’t online.
      Also, don’t forget that they made BBC3 a completely online channel only to backtrack. It turns out that when more people could watch those shows, they did. What really sucks is that they made such a big deal about bringing BBC3 back to regularly TV only to then announce that they were taking away CBBC and BBC4

    • @JoeBleasdaleReal
      @JoeBleasdaleReal Год назад +9

      So, yes, there will be some that this adversely effects, but 1.5 million households is not as big as it seems. That’s about 5% of the UK, compared to 11% of households who didn’t own a TV up until as recently as 2013, so through the whole golden era of broadcast TV. Getting internet access for all is a much bigger question than who has TV access, but hopefully, with the Broadcast Bill going through Parliament and the potential for a digital-to-IP switchover in the future, initiatives will be put in place to close the gap when it comes to TV. Besides, the number of houses with no Internet shrinks organically every year (it was 8% just a year earlier).
      When it comes to BBC Three, most of that backlash came from the fact that streaming was in its very nascent days in 2016, and broadcast viewer numbers were far higher. I think it was a case of wrong place, wrong time, because it’s young people who are leading the charge to VOD, including broadcaster VOD. For example, I Kissed A Boy’s iPlayer numbers were far higher than the tiny linear figures it brought on BBC Three, but it’s still been applauded as a huge success, showing that, although there is still a lot to iron out, we are starting to measure success differently now that viewing habits are changing, and I’m sure kids’ TV will set the tone for the next decades.

    • @NuttersIncorporated
      @NuttersIncorporated Год назад

      ​@@JoeBleasdaleReal These are all good point and I hope you are right. I didn’t realise that the number of households that don’t have internet access was dropping so quickly. However, as of now, only 52% of the UK has full fibre access.
      I know a family who lives less than a mile from me, who has spent a lot of money trying to get reliable internet but they still don’t have it. They are far enough into the countryside that there just isn’t the infostructure to give them fast reliable broadband. Sometime it works but others they can’t even watch a RUclips video because they just can’t connect.
      Hopefully, in the near future, everyone in the UK will have access to good reliable internet. As of now, even if most people do have internet, that is no guarantee that it will work well enough for them to watch shows when everything goes online.
