BritBox Adds Kids’ Classics

BritBox UK has added a number of classic kids’ TV shows, which will be coming to the service next month.

From May 7, BritBox subscribers will be able to enjoy the first seasons of The Worst Witch (1998), Press Gang (1989) and Children’s Ward (1989). The pilot episodes of Puddle Lane (1985), Murphy’s Mob (1982), Jungle Run (1999), Tots TV (1993), Wizadora (1991), Wolves, Witches and Giants (1995) and Woof! (1989) will also be made available.

A Gerry Anderson collection will be launched, including ten of the best episodes of Thunderbirds (1965) alongside the documentary All About Thunderbirds (2008). The pilot episodes of Captain Scarlet (1967), Joe 90 (1968) and Stingray (1964) will also feature.

Will Harrison, managing director of BritBox UK, said “We have seen a trend in our subscribers favoring ‘comfy content’ and lighter viewing over the last month, so we’ve been raiding the archives to keep everyone suitably entertained. We hope that our viewers enjoy the trip down memory lane as much as we have!”
