18 kids' TV shows we worshipped

Peppa Pig? Pah! Dora the Explorer? Do one. Kids these days just don't know what they're missing. Thanks to the genius of YouTube, we've been able to find clips of all the best old-school kids' shows which we grew up with and pulled them all together for you in this article.

Remember the 1980s hit cartoon of schoolgirl, Jerrica Benton, as the secret lead singer of a glamorous girl band? Well, get ready to get super excited, because Jem and the Holograms is coming to a CINEMA near you.

Here's the trailer for the all-new, live-action Jem:

Yes, Jem is her name, no one else is the same, Jem is her name… If you didn't once sing along to that and seriously consider painting a pink glittery star on your face, then please, do keep scrolling.

The Clangers!

And old onto your tin hats, goodtoknowers, because even more amazing news has just reached our pink knitted ears. The Clangers are back too! For the first time in over 40 years, the long-nosed little creatures will be returning for a brand new series. The BBC have released a little teaser clip of them in action, which sees our favourite little pink animals (sorry Peppa) learning about the solar eclipse.
