Tune in to this fantastic photo tribute to the children’s TV shows you loved.
There have been some fabulous programmes for kids to enjoy over the years.
The older generation will remember Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men, while younger Echo followers might like our tribute to Peppa Pig.
Or maybe Dennis the Menace, Buzz Lightyear, Basil Brush and Spongebob Squarepants are more your style.
We have them all in these Echo archive photos from 1980 to 2011.
