Children’s TV should be on for just one hour per day between 4 and 5 pm for those at school and for an hour at 1.00pm for the young ones still at home.
We had “Children’s Hour” Monday to Friday on the wireless when I was a kid and the rest of the time we learned to amuse ourselves by playing games at home or with our friends outside.

Hear hear.Far too much rubbish on these days for kids and 24 hours a day too if you've got Sky tv.Yes,there's an 'off' button,which I do use,I won't let my kids just loll about in front of the tv all day every day but there's no denying that whilst watching a bit of tv is ok for kids it should not be on all the time so it would be easier and better for all concerned if the channels would not broadcast these kids programmes so much.I'm not advocating banning kids tv altogether,give us some choice,but no-one should have the tv on all day and there are some parents who would let this happen.The Jamie Oliver school dinners programme proved this when Jamie told us that he met some children in one of the schools he visited who,when they were shown a carrot and a potato,had no idea what they were,yet they identified the McDonalds logo and countless childrens tv logos/chracters instantly.I think that's sad.
