Retro CITV Favourites Coming To Britbox Soon

Just a quick blog post as I'm pleased to hear the news that Britbox is soon going to be putting a range of old CITV shows from the 1990's on the streaming subscription service.

It lists the likes of The Worst Witch, Jungle Run, Wizadora, Children's Ward and Tots TV will be available from May 7th. The full story can be found here.

The first episode of Jungle Run is to be added. Which was
originally presented by Dominic Wood. 

I don't have Britbox but it makes me very tempted to sign up. I wonder if this will be an incentive to upload some more old CITV shows. Only time will tell, but this is a great step in the right direction not only for nostalgic old fools like me, but it's also an opportunity to introduce these shows to a new audience too.

Another show listed to be added is Tots TV. A popular
preschool show which originally aired between 1993-1998
on CITV.
