As someone who watches a few CBeebies stuff still today, I have some suggestions you should take into account at some point: 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)

(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! 😋

And a couple international shows that were also shown in the UK: - Bottle Top Bill (Australian) - Koala Brothers (Australian) - Lunar Jim (Canadian)

I cried actual tears at Roly Mo's poem

[@fazbearking87]

The most memorable thing for me is the theme songs. Both Fimbles and Roly Mo have a very cozy, snuggly feeling to them. I’d also like to thank Dick and Dom for getting me into Doctor Who just before the 50th anniversary

I know it’s a throwback but I think it’d be so cool if you did a Fraggle Rock video!

You should do a lore video on Rainbow. A British kids show that ran from 1972-1997, a lot of the episodes are easily accessible on KZbin

Athena wait till yoy watch horrible histories, peak british kid shows (And the BEST music)

[@skootergirl22]

Do you remember the time Americans attempted a horrible history animation it was a abomination

[@ste22a]

Cbeebies neeeeds to be studied, I feel like athena would love little robots (especially the theme). Being a British kid in the 2000s was defo a fever dream lmao

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. Even if I'm wrong, still very funny to be reminded of it.

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.

I wanna see her do a review of the musical Raggedy Ann And Andy A Musical Adventure

[@artistperson5785]

As a British person, let me just say we do not claim that comment guy, get mocked sucker, and if you're interested in more british childrens tv shows i do remember one weird one from my childhood, i dont remember the name unfortunately so that sucks for finding it, but it was basically about this farmer and his sentient crops, who would i think either every episode or occasionally would visit the main town where all the kids like... 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

[@ellacorcoran9045]

That's Mr Bloom! There's 2 shows of him, the regular show, where kids visit his allotment, and Here and There, where he visits them. And he also hosted some Cbeebies pantos! (Like The Ugly Duckling) I haven't seen it in a long time, but I would like to see a lore video on it!

[@VanessaSamuels-v5x]

I’m a brit but some of these shows do look odd so yeah we British sure create strange shows

[@Justabearreviews]

If Athena needs anymore weird British shows to look at I recommend “strange hill high” it would be very her style and I feel like a fun video could come from it and someone uploaded all the episodes on KZbin

[@Tomi-foolery]

I feel like Dick and Dom would actually be one of the very few things that would somewhat grab my attention as a small child, but also make me infinitely more disturbing around my peers.
