Kids' TV: The Surprising Story

Konnie Huq presents a celebration of kids’ TV, showing how it has not only entranced generations of children but also played a surprisingly radical role in shaping modern Britain.

Konnie Huq celebrates the very best of British children’s television, with a dazzling array of clips from some of the most treasured programmes ever made and revealing chats with some of TV’s most beloved stars.

But Konnie also tells a perhaps more surprising story: of how kids’ TV has frequently been at the forefront of social change, in terms of the stories it tells and the people who get to tell them.
