Are there TV shows from your childhood that you just can't remember? The answer's likely to be yes and this lack of recall is not surprising. Our young, impressionable memories are bombarded with information, so it's no surprise if one or two shows slip through the fragile cracks of our memory. This book, however, doesn’t want you to forget them.

 

Exploring shows such as Bric-a-Brac, Zokko!, Get Up and Go, Earthfasts and Running Scared to name but a few, this book is a journey through the hidden gems and oddities of British children's TV.
