  • Television, like the radio, the book and wood, has been used to shut children up since its invention. From black-and-white puppet shows to sophisticated tablet-ready interactive cartoons, The Kids Are Alright provides an overview of the organisation of children's television through history. Are you sitting comfortably? Well, we're beginning anyway.
    Episode one: Watch With Aardvark. From Muffin to Watch With Mother to Children's BBC.

    CBBC was at its best probably between 2002 and 2007. I only ever watched it on BBC one back then. It was at a time when Citv was on the decline after being on top from 1998 to 2003

      @Tim Goodwin I'm sorry but you are wrong and I disagree with you, the best time CBBC was on top was between 1997 and 2002, it went downhill ever since, Citv went downhill from 1998 until 2002.

      @@meridian2000 Respectively to you both, everyone's best era is usually the one they grew up with. It's hard to be objective when part of what you're rating will be coloured by powerful childhood nostalgia, and the rest as an adulthood curiosity.

      @@KingEurope1 1 was 7-11 during Steven and Danielle and 12-15 during an era when I thought CBBC upped their game. I was a bit off the cut off point during the bugs era but I felt they had started to take things more seriously whilst Citv trashed in vision and relied on repeats, they even didn't show many of the anime shows that drew me to Citv from CBBC in 1999

      To be fair, a lot of these videos are from waaaay back in the earlier years of youtube. I actually remember watching ITV in the Face back in 2009-ish or so, it was a different time!
