Thunderbirds (1965)
This program should've won best children's program when it came to the Radio Times' 90th Anniversary.
It's way better than Blue Peter.

I couldn't find the link that unites A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave, A Matter Of Loaf & Death and that documentary series about machines.
I've always seen Wallace & Gromit as a program rather than just a collection of short films; the same applies for Tom & Jerry, The Looney Tunes, Laurel & Hardy and The Three Stooges (except that they ain't British of course).

I can't remember if it was this one or the Morph Files that I watched, but either way, I'd say they was as good as each other

Okay, the Magic Roundabout may have been one of them things that are likely to be broadcast on CBeebies, but it was on Channel 4 when I saw it. That was obviously due to the BBC and its rights.
The Magic Roundabout is probably more unique compared to the nonsense on CBeebies.

It was a collection of TV series, but they all had a similar flavour that united them.
I remember watching some of them when I was an elementary school student.
The ones I watched include;
Sky Hunter
Dark Towers
Fairground
Geordie Racer (my personal favourite)
Through The Dragon's Eye
Spy Watch (although I've only seen the first 2 episodes)
and The Legend Of The Lost Keys

Byker Grove (1989)
Debatable as it may sound; Byker Grove has more of a teen-program-type flavour, but it was definitely on CBBC when I watched it.
Presumably the target audience is both children and teenagers.

Funny thing; I used to think this program was Australian. However, since Les Grantham (AKA Den Watts in EastEnders) has been in it and if Wikipedia says it's British, than I guess Woof! must be British.
I can't always be right.

It has long been debated what counts as a Children's Program.
Personally, it was usually American television I watched when I was a kid, but I do watch some British television as well.
I decided to list the British ones that are usually regarded as Children's Programs. That's debatable, because I certainly remember watching stuff like Dad's Army and EastEnders when I was a kid, but I have never heard anybody calling them Children's programs (EastEnders; for the obvious reasons).
There's only quite a few on there, but that's because it was more US for me than UK. You may see quite a lot of Gerry Anderson and Aardman on the list, but who cares? They're the best of UK kid's TV. I never enjoyed any of the stuff you get on CBeebies.
Of course, being that a program is a children's program. It does not mean that an adult cannot watch it. I know certain adults who still watch Wallace & Gromit and the Simpsons; they count as children's programs. In fact, Natalie Cassidy once said Dora The Explorer was one of the best children's programs she ever saw, so she must have watched it. I never saw it (it does not appeal to me personally, but it ain't because of its target audience), but you see what I mean.
By the way, the list is my opinion
