Rubbish
Postman pat [the older ones] FFS that bloke could drive, corner like nobody else I have seen he was wasted being a postman should have been a rally driver and all in a standard post van with a cat for a co driver bloody fantastic
He's well backed by the union in that job though; every episode something goes wrong and the vast majority of them are directly attributable to his own incompetence! It should be called "What's Pat fuc**d up today?" really.
What about Trumpton ? There was a fire in Trumpton everyday. And there were only 3 houses. And one of those was the fire station.

The fire brigade might have got called out every day, but rarely to a fire.
The chimney hanging over the greenhouse hadn't seen a fire in it for many years.

There is a version of post man Pat which is aimed at a more mature audience, shall we say?

I tell you what, you can learn a lot about a collection of guys on a forum by their TV habits, I'd never have guessed that between us we probably rival the consumption of any group of toddlers when it comes to the combined hours of paw patrol, the night garden, teletubbies and peppa pig... I don't know what evidence there is but prolonged exposure to that stuff is probably more dangerous than drinking un-distilled homebrew vodka.

We miss Bluey, toddlers program in Australia which is actually quite amusing for adults as well.
Thomas the Tank Engine is tough to beat, but it has to be the Ringo Star narrated episodes!
Shaun the Sheep is pretty good to, you’re right!

I spent the early part of my childhood listening to and watching the old Thomas the tank with Ringo Starr narrating. Our little ones like watching a bit of it on Amazon Prime these days, too.

I found Wind in the Willows narrated by Kenneth Williams on YouTube the other day. Just brilliant!
It prompted me to go and buy the book for our little one. The language used by Kenneth Graham is just wonderful and Kenneth Williams narrated it brilliantly.
I also remember dad reading it to me when I was a child. It’s probably not fashionable enough for kids today but I’m determined to read it for ours as dad did for us, when they’re old enough.

Can't remember last time my dad had to go to court to evict a tenant but in the past I know he once bricked all the windows when a tenant had broken the glass in the front door and wouldn't pay for it fixing
They left after that

What about Captain Pugwash with seaman stains and Roger the cabin boy.

Yes , I've done the Peppa pig thing too , but my Great grandchildren , whilst they did watch it for a time , very quickly got fed up of it , happily . The eldest one ,in her superior age group (9 ! ) has decided she would like to be a pop singer now - she's put away childish things and now prefers pop singers on her i-pad . The next one down is only interested in tractors , diggers , and quad bikes , and the next one down isn't really old enough to have suchlike preferences - so - for the time being I'm free from the Peppa curse . In fact , I've just chucked a worn out dvd in the bin .I think you would get fed up of bagpuss and the Flumps if you had to watch them as often as I've seen Peppa!
She likes dinosaurs so fed up of Peppa one day when her mum wasn't home I asked her if she would like to watch dinosaurs for a change and showed her a Jurassic park dvd and she got all excited at watching dinosaurs on telly. It's probably my favourite film and it said it was PG rated so thought it would be fine. (She wasn't 2 yet at the time) I assumed she would be asleep within 5 minutes but she didn't and sat through the whole thing. Anyways she absolutely loved it and I didn't have to watch Peppa it was great a real dad daughter bonding experience. Her mum came home and asked what we'd been up to and she said "Mam! Mam! Dinosaurs telly!" Mum wasn't impressed when she realised I'd let her watch Jurassic park at such a young age
My argument is she wasn't old enough to understand it anyway
Well there's hope for us yet. I came home to find little miss watching Shaun the sheep on Netflix apparently she asked for it hopefully this will be the end of the Peppa pig phase

The Captain Pugwash thing was a pure fabrication, the cabin boy was Tom, and none of them were called 'Seaman' anything! The Guardian had to pay quite a lot of damages for printing the story.
Windy Miller, in Camberwick Green, was a genuine naughty boy though. One of the stories (and there were only 13 episodes each of the Trumptonshire trilogy, Trumpton, Chigley, and Camberwick Green) involved Windy getting drunk on homebrew cider and falling asleep, leaving the baker without any flour.
