I think kids TV is a special case and it is in danger of getting squeezed out altogether so we're left with only American imports and cartoons. CITV was never as good as CBBC but it through up some interesting stuff occasionally. I loved Don't Eat the Neighbours and My Parents are Aliens. Without Central TV's collaboration with Ragdoll we'd also not have had the preschool classics Rosie and Jim/Tots TV - and then subsequently not Teletubbies either because the Beeb wouldn't have been interested. There's a lot of good crossover stuff that goes on between my industry and children's tv, which would be a shame to lose. There's such a frustratingly shortsighted view in some quarters, that if it's for kids it doesn't matter. Well it does if you want to create adult viewers/readers for the future.

Okay! BTW, think I fixed the log-in thing: there was a space in the original blog code where there shouldn't have been. I've taken it out and now everything seems to be working perfectly. How weird.
