The best thing that ever happened on Blue Peter was when the garden got trashed

I’ve never really understood the hatred Blue Peter gets. As I said earlier, I’ve never watched it more than the occasional episode here and there, it was just so twee and clean and I much preferred the grittier or funnier stuff from Grange Hill, Maid Marian and others. But the fact here is that just about every single show on this list, or any CBBC show that was voted for, was shown on the BBC because of Blue Peter. Although it wasn’t the first show for kids on the Beeb, it was the show on which the Children’s BBC department was built on and built around. It may now get a fraction of the viewers it once got and whereas most presenters in the past were household names by being on the show, I couldn’t tell you a single presenter on now. But it’s the very foundation of not just Children’s BBC but also Children’s ITV and any other kids network here. If Blue Peter hadn’t been such a success back in the day, TV in general here would have been a lot different. And that’s why (despite me very rarely watching the show when I was a kid and being far more interested in just about anything else showing on another channel at the same time) Blue Peter HAS to be on a list of Top 10 Kids shows here. You may not like it, but you have to respect its influence over the genre.

Where is the love for Greenclaws, alfonso bonzo or Simon and the Witch?? How dare they do this! My MP will be getting a strongly worded letter about this.

Grange Hill was WAY better than Byker Grove, as much as I liked the latter. Chucklevision in any format was good, but best show in CBBC history? Not a chance.
Incidentally, where’s Crackerjack?
