Now here's a television program for kids that is as safe and sanitised as any responsible parent could wish for. It started way back in 1958 and yet - lo and behold - it just keeps on going.
Old hat, perhaps, in the third millennium, but still extremely popular. As someone has pointed out; it's been going for over 50 years and has seen 34 presenters, beginning with the died-in-the-wool middle-class Christopher Trace (he'd be over-familiar 'Chris' today). So how come it's only got 6 stars? That clearly doesn't stack-up.
I believe the only programme that has gone on for longer is 'The Sky At Night', though I'll stand correction if needs be.
For interesting little stories and harmless fun with toilet-roll tubes and washing-up-liquid bottles; this is it.
Badge-holders take pride (despite a recent scandal!).
