'Peppa Pig' voted greatest children's TV show

British animated series 'Peppa Pig' has been voted one of the greatest children's TV shows by a poll.

The smash-hit Channel 5 character is joined by 'Bob The Builder', 'Grange Hill', 'Play School' and 'Jackanory' in a new shortlist drawn up by staff at a radio station, reported Daily Express.

"Since Peppa's launch on Channel 5 in 2004, she has been a firm favourite with the Milkshake audience, delighting pre-schoolers every morning - as well as entertaining parents and grandparents too.

"This is a fantastic and well deserved accolade for the multi-award-winning British animation, and it recognises the dedication and skill of the producers who have been committed to creating the highest quality programmes for young children," said Jessica Symons, head of children's programming for Channel 5.
