Favourite shows to watch with 8 year olds

We need some new TV that we can watch together. We’ve really bonded over Lego Masters, we’ll try and build stuff using the show as inspiration and we just generally enjoy it together. But we need more TV programs that both of us can enjoy rather than things that are solely aimed at kids. There are a couple of Disney original programs we like (Stuck in the Middle, Bunk’d) but the majority is a bit too kid focused for me to really get into. We also like ‘Is It Cake’.
So please can you tell me some things you actually really enjoy watching and your 8ish year olds do too?

My dd really likes gameshows like Deal Or No Deal and Wheel of Fortune. Plus all the usuals like Strictly, Masked Singer etc.

Horrible Histories. It’s the best.

Great idea! I love history and I could watch history documentaries all day long so this feels like something we could really get into. Thank you

We enjoy watching Gladiators together. It’s not really my kind of thing but I like how much DH and DC like it and it’s the only thing they actually watch together so I’m happy to join in!
