Day 13. Favorite childhood show

You expect me to pick just one?

From when I was really small, there were these:

The Clangers

The Wombles

and Roobarb and Custard

Then as I got a bit older, there was, of course:

Grange Hill. Of course, there was Blue Peter ("Get Down, Shep!"> which I think every kid in the UK watched at some point....it's been on since 1958!

And then there was The Adventures of Black Beauty

The longest childhood favourite, has to be Doctor Who. Jon Pertwee was my first Doctor, and I watched all the way through my childhood until it was cancelled with Sylvestor McCoy. Of course, I picked it up again with the new series, but my affection for Classic Who is enduring. My favourite Doctor, who happened to come along during my impressionable teen years was Peter Davidson.

It was as a teen my fannish self blossomed, though I knew nothing about fandom back then. Just that my friends and I would examine every angle of a new episode the next day at school. Some of those shows are still favourites today Blakes 7, Robin of Sherwood, Dick Turpin, and The Professionals.

So, yes, it's kind of impossible to pick single a favourite.
