If I am not mistaken some of these were ITV lunchtime for pre-school, not CITV, I was a typical BBC1 viewer, though I did watch How?, Danger Mouse Count Duckula etc...
Danger Mouse was C4
Edit it was CITV but I always recall been on C4 for some reason
I used to watch Danger Mouse before C4 ever existed....:D The show originally ran in the United Kingdom on ITV from 28 September 1981 - my 12th birthday
Thinking about this I wonder why CBBC and CITV don't make a classics channel it's not like it would cost them to much they all ready have 20+ years worth of footage they could use (if you take classic in been 10+ years)

I know BBC repeat a lot of oldish animation...Teletubbies is 15+ years old, Fireman Sam even older....
I am disappointed to see that it is the 90s version of The Tomorrow People that is being repeated rather than original 70s versions. The 90s version might have had better production values but the 70s version is worth showing just for theme tune and opening sequence.
I wish a channel would show SMTV : LIVE ! right from the beginning
I'd watch that! The last time it was worth getting up on a saturday to watch tv!
Looking forward to this weekend, lots to keep a 90's kid happy
Oddly, I was exclusively a CITV child but now I never watch ITV apart from the one or two quality shows but these don't tend to last long (e.g. Primeval).
TBH to me kids shows started going downhill in the 90's the only good ones that were left were ones that started in the 80's
To a point I agree - in fact you may have posted in my thread about this very subject a while back.
I recall The Demon Headmaster began in 1996 so that was still ok in my book.
I continued to catch kids tv due to my younger sister watching it and saw shows like Jeopardy, Tracy Beaker and Madigans Quest - which were all pretty good.
I've heard the Aussies and Canadians still make good kids tv with adult production values and morals and I thought this was a dead duck in the UK - until Wolfblood aired a few months ago. Plus The Sarah Jane Adventures is/was pretty decent.
I pray that they show it in the original aspect ratio and NOT full-screen (thereby cutting off top and bottom). Please ITV, don't mess this up!
They should do. In the afternoons at the moment they show Wolves, Witches and Giants. This is from 1996 and that is shown in it's original aspect ratio.

They were often repeated during CITV later into the afternoon.

I know it was a Thames presentation - it was a big hit worldwide I only just discovered.....I don't really recall C4 showing any UK animation....
I know BBC repeat a lot of oldish animation...Teletubbies is 15+ years old, Fireman Sam even older....
Hard to think Teletubbies is that old it still seems kinda new to me
Some of the winning ones are on Youtube
Jungle Run, The Worst Witch, Rosie and jim , my parents are aliens, Woof and sooty show!
Too bloody right! I loved Knightmare!
It hasn't aged that well. They should do an updated version.
They did plan one a few years ago I don't know what happened to it however I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't think the cost would be worth it
I'd watch that! The last time it was worth getting up on a saturday to watch tv!

They did. Carlton Kids and CBBC on BBC Choice.
Both were axed as ratings were appalling.
oh yes ,here comes the dvd ,why not a bit of schools programmes as well?
