In February 1968 Ed, or Stewpot as he became known to children everywhere, took over as presenter and he stayed with the show for the next 11 years, until he handed the Junior Choice mantle to Tony Blackburn.

AND in the year that The BBC celebrates reaching 100, we thought we'd mark the occasion by playing children's theme tunes throughout the decades pulling them all together in bite size chunks to test your knowledge. Plus, we have our own personal landmark - 70 years ago today, Christmas Day, the BBC Light Programme gave us Children's Choice, the first ever request show for children.
