I used to hate the television programmes that my four year old watched but we have now settled for Hi5 on Tiny Living in the morning. She just loves the singing and dancing etc.

I quite like watching Charli Robinson do her stuff.

Quality father daughter moments don't come better than this, we've both found something that we can share.

Isn't this a bit of a sexist thread - what about us mum's ???

Used to really enjoy watching the new adventures of Superman with Teri Hatcher as Lois Lane, unfortunately my daughter lost interest and regressed to Tots TV.

A couple of weeks ago on one of the kids programmes there was the chance ti win a 'fun day' with Atomic Kitten but the girls wouldn't let me enter :-(

Sorry, doesn't have to be a sexist thread. If you want to admit that you have a thing for Bob the Builder et al feel free. Tim and Nathan on Hi5 don't do it for me but they may be the ideal men for you.

Why can't it be a sexist thread?

The girls could always start a "chocolate sauce & Sean Bean" thread if they want.

Quality choice Barkles. I knew I could rely on you.

When I was growing up the best on offer seemed to be Valerie Singleton or that woman on Magpie. No offence to either of them but children's TV is now much more father friendly.

Ah, still got a soft spot for Valerie Singleton caused by years of watching Blue Peter - first love lasts longest

I quite like the Hoobs. Pb-juniors watch it most mornings. UBOS is also OK (but a rip-off of Harry Potter!!).

Favorite presenters - Has to be Lesley Judd and John Noakes.

What did Dani Behr think she was doing presenting that Saturday morning thing? There is no way that Dani Behr is a kid's TV presenter! Give her a late night slot!

I used to like Lesley Judd and Sarah Greene. (I can't believe I've just admitted that).

Nice sunset Mr. A. No, not Sarah Greene - too flimsy. Although she was quite funny on that Sat. Breakfast thingy with Philip Schofield.

Oh!! GOrdon the Gopher - he was hilarious.

And Basil Brush (the old one - will the new one be up to scratch?)

Don't know her name but there is a presenter who occasionally does the links on 5's sports nights (i'm trying desperately to avoid saying that I watch C5 at night...). She knows nothing about the sport that she is presenting and has no meaningful role to fulfil but is rather pleasing to the eye. It must be home time soon.

Is it me or does Cat Deeley not tug at anyones cord. SMTV hasn't been the same since.

Thanks PB (or is it Pernickity or should I just call you Butt? LOL). I was trying to find an appropriate photo, but I seem to have lost the photos of my sole marathon effort, which are the only "running" photos of me...

There are two images of Sarah Greene which will live with me forever. (1) When she was modelling a victorian dress on Blue Peter, and had to show how to put it on, and appeared in just her bra. Please bear in mind I was only about 13 at the time. (2) When she used to be on Saturday Superstore with Mike Read (wasn't it Emma Forbes with Schofield? Or was that Andi Peters?), and on the Christmas edition, she wore what can only be described as a sexy Santa outfit. I'm 32 - I should be getting over this...

Can I just say a big "thank you" to the BBC for helping me through my formative years.

Gavo: the presenter you're thinking of is Sophie Blake. They had her on Football Focus on Grandstand for a while. Yes, she is rather pleasing to the eye.....

Yes but, this should all be about now. What TV programmes can you recommend for my four year old daughter that I will also gain some satisfaction about?

On Challenge TV my 6 yo enjoys Fort Bayou with lots of running/jumping/shouting and competition plus Melinda Messanger's obvious attractions.
