The Flumps (obvs). Also loved The Wombles, Paddington, Mr Benn, Trumpton, Chigley, Camberwick Green.
Ah yes, back in the day when you got one children's programme at lunchtime, my DM definitely took full advantage. Not sure it's exactly a children's programme but also would sit with her to watch Little House on the Prairie.

I honestly don't think I can choose, I think of one and then recall another. First thing that I thought about was Top Cat.

The BBC drama that first comes to mind was Moondial. But again there were many others, The December Rose being one.

There was a game show too, which ended with the children who left having to cross a grid. They had to make it to the other side, if they didn't they fell through and were lost forever (ok maybe not really!). Can't recall the show's name though.
