Calm tv shows for children?

[Broccoliboat]

can anyone recommend any calm tv shows for children? So many are so fast pace and manic these days.
Some do the older shows are good but quality is poor as they’re from the 1990s and only on YouTube.

so for my list consists of:

Sarah and Duck
Rosie and Jim
Book of Pooh

please add yours too!

Is 'In The Night Garden' still going? That was my favourite when my dc were little!

How old are the children?

Abney and Teal for little ones. Very gentle and dreamy.

I was about to suggest older stuff but you’re right that quality varies.

The Clangers remake is nice. Also Moon and Me.

Plus Abney & Teal.

sarah & duck is a lovely show.
also, Moon and Me is relaxing (and bizaare!)

If you can access a DVD player, then Trumpton/Chigley, Bod, Bagpuss, Kipper, Ivor the Engine all go much, much slower.
Tgese are all available on dvd

I have fond memories of Old Jacks Boat from when mine were younger.

Bagpuss!

Puffin Rock is nice, on Netflix.

Puffin Rock on Netflix (and CBeebies on the weekends, I believe)

I’ve added puffin rock to our list!

Charlie and Lola?

It scares me how overstimulating TV shows are compared to back in the day. Look at the difference between these Peter Rabbit adaptations:

It's the same with films. Disney or whatever used to have chunks of action/jeopardy in between stretches of everything being calm and serene. Now it's all near-constant action with only very fleeting moments in-between, it's exhausting! I know everyone thinks 'it was better' back in their childhood but how it is now really can't be good for developing brains, I don't think.

Puffin Rock is my absolute favourite. I find it extremely relaxing when DDs are watching 🤣.

Also a big fan of Abney and Teal.

Boo snoo 🥰 on YouTube /nowtv so assuming sky too

Thanks all, any others people love?

Little Bear is perfect!! Very fond memories of my boys loving this back on the day…

My 3 year old loves Kiri and Lou on CBeebies. And TikTak too which is really old!

Another vote for puffin rock my 3yo loves it and is now on iplayer!

We love Puffin Rock here too.

Nelly and Nora is another nice one. Used to be on CBeebies, so probably on BBC iPlayer.

Loved abney and teal, sadly my kids didn't and went mad only for bloody Bing
