I made a conscious decision to become a Children's BBC kid
I used to turn back to ITV for the Chart Show though (but even that doesn't count because it was Channel 4 first)

I always watched BBC children's programmes.
Except at lunchtime, because ITV had such delights as Rainbow, Jamie and the Magic Torch, and Chorlton and the Wheelies.

The Flumps were on later, on BBC.

Handful of Songs
Was that Ralph McTell? The programme where kids sent in pictures and asked for songs to be sung for them?

I hate Ralph McTell
I'll show him something, that'll make him change his mind ABOUT EVER FUCKING SINGING ANYWHERE NEAR ME EVER A-FUCKING-GAIN, the anodyne cockmuncher.

You take that copy
of 'Bland, Patronising Pseudo-folk hits of the 70s' right back to the shop from which it was purchased.

I watched all those because I was at still at nursery/reception
Let's not forget Cockleshell Bay, followed by The Sullivans.
But at some point in infants or juniors I switched because ITV went shit and I liked the cozy institution of the BBC.

The Sullivans were good
really good. Far better than Neighbours.

Remember when Grace died? :(
My ideal parents are Grace Sullivan and Atticus Finch.
I also still pretend I'm Maggie from the pub when I'm working behind the bar.
