British channel CITV has begun a special weekend of showing classic kids’ TV programmes.
‘Old Skool’ is a retrospective for the channel as it celebrates its 30th birthday.
CITV head of programming Jamila Metran said: “We are very proud of CITV’s heritage, and look forward to bringing back all the old favourites for this one-off, not to be missed event and show the kids what their parents watched when they were young!”
Fans can expect to watch re-runs of shows such as Rainbow, Fun House, Press Gang, Knightmare, The Raggy Dolls, Count Duckula, Art Attack and Children’s Ward.
Any of you got a favourite they’re showing this weekend? As ever, let us know.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
