Right now it is! And my favourite show as a kid has to be Knightmare, that incredible virtual reality adventure game. Any denizens of the UK remember this timeless classic?!

My top ten in no particular order
1. The Clangers 2. Trap Door 3. Dangermouse 4. Magic Roundabout (with the Eric Thompson narration) 5. Roobarb 6. Bagpuss 7. Ivor The Engine 8. Camberick Green, Trumpton, Chigley 9. Fingerbobs 10. Chorlton and the Wheelies
All of which is very predictable, so to balance things out, here's five underrated kids programmes that should be remembered more fondly than they were...
1. Victor and Hugo Cosgrove and Halls tribute to Peter Sellers - Victor and Hugo were two incompetant french criminals - Victor bore an uncanny resemblance to Inspector Clouseau, and Hugo whose voice bore an uncanny resemblance to that of Bluebottle from The Goon Show.
2. The Storyteller - The Jim Henson one I mean, but see below... The first series presented us with a gnome like John Hurt telling his dog Grimm Fairy Tales, that really were grim, with some nice animatronics, mixed with some effective shadow puppetry. The second series had a thespian of similar stature, but this time with tunic and toga for togs, telling Greek myths, apparently to the same dog.
3. Handful Of Songs Two hippies and a guitar (possibly two guitars). They did requests - call that a format for a television programme? Still I remember this one so vividly and with such fondness. The theme song was funky "We've got a handful of songs to sing you / New songs and blue songs and songs to bring you / Happiness / no more no less." Of course being a kids programme, not once did they sing a blue song, perhaps I'm mistaken about this line. Puff the Magic Dragon was a favourite.
4. Stories From Round The World - Actually this was quite often rubbish, but we were drawn in by the animated titles "I'm the storyteller, and my stories must be told / I have many stories for both the young and for the old" - trite so far, but the next verse holds the genius "In Russia I am Ivan, in England I am John, In Germany I'm Johann in Sweden I am Jan!" Very educational really.
5. The Space Sentinels - Filmation nonsense about three youths blessed with Super Powers, and a big giant head telling them what to do. Big Giant Head? Hey, filmation could probably sue third rock! The youths were named (as unlikely as it sounds) Mercury, Hercules and Athena - Naturally Mercury had speed and Hercules immense strength. Athena could transform into animals, which is a bit baffling as Athena was the Greek Goddess of wisdom, and the other two were named after Roman Gods who had at least something to do with their super power. Diana would have been more appropriate - maybe Filmation didn't want to risk taking on DC, whose own major Superheroine was called Diana (aka Wonder Woman)

Square One TV. The weekly cliffhangers on 24 were no match for the daily cliffhangers of Mathnet.
