Anyone been watching the "Children's TV on Trial" season on BBC Four? The key feature has been the five part series looking at kid's TV from the 1950s to now. How things have changed!
We have gone from one channel to hundreds, black and white to multicolour, formal to as informal as you can get, puppets to CGI, taste and decency to well... things that may appear to be "indescent" but deal with important issues. From patronising kids to over-patronisation (e.g. Cbeebies).
I just hope they make more programmes like the older ones though some of the new stuff looks interesting, such as In the Night Garden from the creators of Teletubbies.
