I can't help but be struck by the irony of this exercise. CITV celebrates its 30th anniversary by filling a schedule with past programmes when ITV hasn't even made any programmes for about 5 years.
I didn't know that I think I tended to be 50/50 even if pushed I can't even think of what I watched the most
I wonder how many actually won I know a few did on the last episodes of a series but that's was often because they gave them a "short cut" back.
I remember one group though died in the first few seconds they walked into the first room and fell into a hole on their first few steps

Well excuse me but last time I checked it wasent the kids that dictate what gets watched on tv its the parents.
Like it or lump it kids it will be 2 days of fantastic tv for a change. This will deffinately be on all day. Cant wait.
I wonder which episodes they will be airing.
Most kids will have their own TV anyway so it won't make any difference even in my day I had one.
On a side note I'm not sure I want to watch some of these take T Bag as that to me is the kind of show where you have to watch it through if I just watch one I know I will want to watch the rest
I tended to be about half and half with CBBC/CITV and watched many of the shows which are due to be repeated.
I'd better clear some space on my hard drive!
I'd also like the CBBC channel to repeat shows broadcast more than 10 years ago.
Not every kid has a tv in their bed especially not a 5 year old. Thats where parents go wrong and they wonder why they confine themselves to their bedroom at a later age.
I never watched T-Bag when it was on the telly all those years ago. I guess whatever time it was on I was probably watching something on CBBC like Ulysses or something.
I do miss the times when Nick Jr on sky would do a classics hour at 9pm a few years ago where you could regulary catch Button Moon & Rainbow each night. Most of these shows havent been seen in years and its about time they came on regulary.
Then again if I had my way id ban all loan and insurance adverts and replace them with PIFs from the 1980s because tv people these days dont really care about kids when they should be putting Dont talk to Strangers or look left, look right but you never see them these days.
The kids shows sometimes had great messages for kids as well as learning too but todays programmes seem to have forgotten the message or they simply dont care.
20 in my case
The trouble with repeating T-bag is that each episode was part of a story, unlike say Mike and Angelo which told one off stories each week.
I agree very much with the last paragraph. Raggy Dolls which is being shown that weekend sold the message that you don't have to look a certain way to be successful or get by.
No, no, you want Live and Kicking right from the beginning.
No, no. I want the gorgeous Cat Deeley. I want Wonkey Donkey. I want C*H*U*M*S.
I've left in the shows I'll be interested in watching.
I loved Jungle Run and My Parents Are Aliens when they started, I hope it's early episodes of these.
Mike and Angelo was awesome as well, one of the best opening credits I remember as a child
If I am not mistaken some of these were ITV lunchtime for pre-school kids, not CITV, I was a typical BBC1 viewer, though I did watch How?, Danger Mouse Count Duckula etc...
