One of the first presenters that was dedicated to Chi1ldren’s BBC in 1985 was Phillip Schofield. In those days they ran on a shoestring and had a punk-like fashion about them and they were proud of that! You know what we are talking about right? Didn’t you love The Broom Cupboard?


Phillip Schofield

After moving on from children’s TV he starred in Schofield’s Quest and Schofield’s TV Gold and in 2002 became a presenter on This Morning with Fern Britton and later Holly Willoughby.

In 2012 he went through some criticism after handing David Cameron a list of people that the internet claimed were paedophiles. That obviously didn’t go down good for him.

Esther McVey

After Chris Jarvis we don’t really remember any more presenters because we were already old enough to be down at the pub having a good time. McVey proved to us that our childhood was over when she became a Tory MP.
