    Brum - A show about a small yellow car that acts as a sort of superhero and is also a fast paced comedy (season 3-5 that is)
    Waybuloo - A magical show about 4 little flying animals (called Piplings) who walk around solving problems (and has a gorgeous soundtrack) *DISCLAIMER* Don't watch the ones that have a 12 minute run time, watch the 19 minute ones
    ZingZillas - A musical show about 4 monkeys in a band on a tropical island that teaches about various musical instruments (and there's a new song every episode)

    This show, Bobinogs, Tweenies, Numberjacks, Kerwizz, Nina and the Neurons, Big Cook, Little Cook, The Large Family, Big and Small, I Can Cook, The Shiny Show, Big Barn Farm, Get Squiggling, Boj, The Numtums, Little Red Tractor, Postman Pat, Andy Pandy, The Magic Roundabout, 3rd and Bird, Zingzillas, Zou, Rastamouse, Charlie and Lola (although that one was rather on Discovery Kids)... ahhh, the memories, those were the days... (the funniest part is that I'm mexican) xDDD
    Oh, and if you truly want to experience the TRUE madness, try In The Night Garden, Athena; it's a fairytale esque puppets show (also developed by Ragdoll, but not as terrifying as their past project [CURSE YOU, BOOHBAH]), it's very reminescent to Teletubbies but sorta more captivating and chaotic, deffo a laughing stock, check it out if you have the opportunity! 😋

    I grew up in the 2000s and so the Fimbles, Rolymo and Dick & Dom were classic staples.
    Recently I actually made a playlist to remember what shows I grew up with so here's a way too long list.
    - The Story Makers
    - Yo Ho Ahoy (adorable little felt stop motion pirates that can only say: yo ho ahoy)
    - Rubbadubbers
    - Old Bear (based off a pre-existing book series)
    - Number Jacks
    - Nina and the neurons
    - 64 Zoo Lane (most Brits born in the 2000s can still recall the theme song)
    - Big Cook Little Cook (heard it was revived a couple of years ago, but with different actors)
    - Balamory (I actually went to the real filming location as a child, in Tobermory, Isle of Mull in Scotland)
    - Fifi and the Flowertots
    - Bob the Builder
    - Underground Ernie (pretty terrifying CG show that tried to coast a little off of Thomas the Tank Engine's popularity)
    - Charlie & Lola (also based off a book series)
    Then there's several iconic shows that had older versions, but had newer designs in the 2000s (some going from stop-motion to CG): Andy Pandy, Noddy, Bill & Ben, Thomas the Tank Engine, Postman Pat & Fireman Sam.
    And a couple international shows that were also shown in the UK:
    - Bottle Top Bill (Australian)
    - Koala Brothers (Australian)
    - Lunar Jim (Canadian)

Adored them i think? There was a gourd thing as one and this white bulb one with heavy green leaves on top, i remember because i had them as like mcdonalds toys i think, but there was more, i dont remember if there was any lore bits at all but honestly the idea of sentient crops with a farmer seems on brand i think for this channel? It was in live action but the crops were cgi and animated, might be something fun to watch

    Top Tip: When reading out insults in an English accent, use a northern one. My accent is North Welsh which is quite similar to Southern English but I grew up in Northern England and put their accent on any time I'm insulting anyone 👍👍
    ALSO a list of stuff for you to watch:
    Stuff I watched as a kid/early teen born in 2008:
    -Waybuloos
    -Numberjacks
    -Grandpa In My Pocket
    -Strange Hill High - actually really good but still was a collective fever dream
    -Tree Fu Tom
    -In The Night Garden
    -Abney and Teal
    -Class Dismissed - don't think it's really your style since it's not super trippy, just really weird (yes, those are two different things)
    -Dipdap
    -Balamory - don't remember anything about it but because it's contemporary and set in a small community I can only assume it's a soap opera for kids
    -Charlie and Lola - pretty grounded but could be fun because I remember Lola being really annoying
    -Tweenies
    -Bottletop Bill and his Best Friend Corky
    -64 Zoo Lane
    -Mr Maker
    -Nina and the Neurons
    -Swashbucklers
    -Kerwhizz - I was looking for this for so long because it was just a fever dream I didn't know anything about it
    -Rastamouse
    -Gigglebiz
    -Justin's House
    -3rd & Bird
    -Show me, show me
    -Lazytown
    -Alphablocks
    -Numberblocks - newer but my little brother watched it as a baby
    -The Clangers
    -Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom
    Older stuff that would be cool:
    -Bagpuss
    -The Herbs
    -Bod
    -Mr Ben
    I'll update it as I think of more, British kids shows make you wonder how we even remember our childhoods and didn't even wet our pantaloons once because of how much of a trip they were.

    The "1-2-3" bit might have been based off of the tootsie-pop commercial that was very similar. It had an owl who counted how many licks it took to get to the center of the tootsie-pop, and would say "One, a-two-hoo, a-thr-hee." Though I'm not sure, I still felt it was similar.

    i agree with everyone saying in the night garden and the numberjacks would be good insane british kids shows to cover. THAT FUCKING SPOON THING MY GOD. and i feel like in the night garden was the result of someone giving a load of toddlers like a bunch of illegal drugs and making a show out of their hallucinations. and some bits of it made perfect sense to 5-year-old me that are just completely out of left field to me now. like beyond kids show logic why the fuck did iggle piggle sail away at the end of each episode where the fuck was he going it’s not like he was leaving he always showed up next episode. why do i feel like those hedges were sentient. I have no specific memories of anything related to that i just feel like they were. i just what
    also if anyone’s interested in just the most peaceful, perfect children’s show ever i recommend abney and teal. the whole aesthetic of it is beautiful it’s like paint and embroidery, i have never related to a character more than that little autistic blue thing, and i too wish to live forever in/on top of a tiny shack on an island in the middle of a city and eat ridiculous amounts of porridge and scavenge bits of junk.
