What were your favourite children's tv programmes in the 90's?

My youngest is 10 and watches a lot of videos on youtube that I would describe as harmless drivel. I got a copy of the 90's version of the demon headmaster and he absolutely loved it so I got 5 children and it and the chronicles of narnia and he loved that too. I'm trying to find something new for us to watch together as I loved watching the narnia series on Sunday evening with my mum and dad when I was his age. I've discovered a lot of the old series is on youtube (although some annoyingly have episodes missing) and I've written a short list but looking for some more ideas.

So far I've got:
Out of tune (featuring a very young James Corden!)
The queens nose
Aquila
Get your own back
Fun house
Our parents are aliens
Home farm twins

Any other suggestions?

Thanks for this excellent list, I'm now singing all the theme tunes!

as well as Narnia and the Borrowers, the BBC did 5 Children and It. There’s also a modern sequel film/book by Jacqueline Wilson called 4 Kids and it, which my DC7 is obsessed with. I’m still on the look out for the BBC version for them.

Maid Marian and her Merry Men!

Press Gang was always my favourite (with a very young & handsome Dexter Fletcher!)

Yes to Press Gang and Maid Marion.

Also Knightmare!

The Poddington Peas was brilliant. Although that might be more 80s than 90s, actually.
