Same here, i have extremely fond memories of Raven and 50/50 when i was like 5-7
50/50 and Basil Brush I probably watched the most, I remember thinking Tracy Beaker was quality at the time but barely watched it since it's the sorta thing I'd want to watch from the start
Was Bamzooki the weird thing where they overlayed early CG onto a table? I thought that was hokey even back then

Oh i definetly grew up with Blue Peter as well though it was the mid 2000s version
I watched all that.
Had the Basil Brush puppet, litteraly the one teddy type thing from my childhood I still got actually.
My sister also had all the Tracy Beaker episodes on DvD. This was just before the 2010's were boys still couldn't admit to watching a show or film with a girl protagonist so I didn't tell anyone I watched it. Then when I got to an adult I brought it up with some mates of mine I've known since high school and they said all watched it as well.

90s Blue Peter for me.
We also had Art Attack, which was great.

I was in the sweet spot where I grew up with great '90s shows like Art Attack and caught some of the best 2000's stuff.
Same goes for Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, was great being in the age demo for both Dexter's Lab and Foster's Home as they were happening.
I mean I'll say they were ahead of their time, at the very least

I made an American watch an episode of Bernard's Watch once, to them it was apparently like watching something from an alien civilization
God help them if they ever bare witness to Brum
God, Brum. I remember my dad taking me to the Transport Museum in Glasgow when I was a kid and I didn't give a shit about anything except that I saw Brum.

Remember watching a lot of Tracy Beaker and Basil Brush. Chucklevision and Dic and Dom was my main thing I fondly remember from BBC though, fucking loved those shows when I was younger. Most of the rest would be cartoons.
GO GO DICK AND DOM
in da bungalow!
goat children's TV chaos, those guys were off the chain
lmao
I just recall that entire show being utter chaos.
Watched a bit of Raven, Tracy, Basil and 50/50.
I think I watched more of Bear in the big blue house, Chucklevision and the Tweenies.

YES, I was just about to post this, that show was fucking weird and trippy as hell, I don't remember it getting a conclusion though, did it get canceled?
Edit: reading the link you posted, turns out it did get an ending, I'll have to look those up one day.
God, just reading about it brings back memories, that red eye virus shit was creepy as hell.
50/50 and Raven were incredible. Aquila was around then too right ?
EDIT:
I see you

Yes, I grew up with all of them and I find it so nostalgic to see them mentioned again after all these years.

Holy Fuck, completely forgot about this.
Fantastic show - have always wanted an orchestrated longer version of that theme.
Another brilliant show, I loved the designs and how they worked out the buttons and learned Latin in order to speak to the ship, then it turned out it was merely a shuttle craft/escape pod of a far larger mother-ship orbiting the sun.
Love Gareth, Carol and Fred. Gareth ended up partnered to Violet Berlin of Bad Influence fame - wonder if she has an account on Era?
Overall all great shows. Those and including these;
Ship to Shore (which guest starred a young Heath Ledger at one point)
Round the Twist
All seasons of The Demon Headmaster
The Fiddly Foodle Bird (with narration by Brucie)
Bananaman
Maid Marian and her Merry Men
