"Teletubbies" is a popular show aimed at pre-school children, and 365 episodes were made between 1997 and 2001.

Made by the same team who created "Teletubbies", the original run of "In The Night Garden" was from 2007-2010, although it is regularly repeated on the BBC's "Cbeebies" channel. Like "Teletubbies", it is a mostly live-action show with the main characters played by actors in costume. Other characters which turn up from time to time include Tombiloos, Haahoos and Tittifers.

Answer: Shaun the Sheep

"Shaun the Sheep" is an animated show made by Aardman Animations, and features as its main character Shaun, who first appeared in the Wallace and Gromit film "A Close Shave". Like all Aardman shows, it is far too good to be watched just by children.

Answer: Postman Pat

Postman Pat works in and around the village of Greendale, and drives around in his red van delivering letters, accompanied by his cat, Jess. The show was first broadcast in 1981, and has become one of the longest-running and most popular children's television show made by the BBC.

Answer: Chucklevision

Paul and Barry are played by real-life brothers Paul and Barry Elliott, who have a comedy double-act known as the Chuckle Brothers. They regularly perform throughout the UK as a live act, although they are probably best known for this long-running children's television show, of which nearly 300 episodes were made between 1987 and 2009.
