As part of the BBC’s 100th anniversary programming, Konnie Huq celebrates the very best of British children’s television, with a dazzling array of clips from some of the most treasured programmes ever made, and revealing chats with some of TV’s most beloved stars; but Konnie also tells a perhaps more surprising story, of how kids’ TV has frequently been at the forefront of social change, in terms of the stories it tells, and the people who get to tell them. It starts out badly, with the briefest of nods to the all-important figure of John Reith and ends bafflingly with an unattributed quote of his original remit for the BBC.Her latest film The Swimmers, tells the story of two sisters who fled from war-torn Syria before competing at the 2016 Rio Olympics and it was awarded the prestigious opening night slot at the 2022 Toronto International Film festival. The former marked the beginning of one of the first massive TV brands, and the latter highlighted the importance of the BBC in growing citizenship amongst the nation’s children.

I haven’t shied away from difficult topics either, such as government pressures, the clash with Mrs Thatcher, the scandal of Jimmy Savile… they’re all part of the story of the BBC: the challenges that helped define us.They sit down with Talking Movies host Tom Brook to explain how their early years working as BBC staff and working on BBC projects gave them invaluable storytelling skills and experience for their later very successful film and documentary filmmaking careers. Broadcasting Britain- 100 years of the BBC is a vivid, thought-provoking and, most of all, entertaining celebration of a global cultural icon.

the first Prom broadcast in 1927, wartime updates, coverage of the moon landing, comedy greats, the 2012 Olympics ?So alongside the glorious nostalgia for viewers of all ages, there is always a fascinating parallel tale.
