Programmes made specifically for young audiences date back to 1946 and for the\u00a0BBC in particular,\u00a0children\u2019s TV was always considered a vital part of public service broadcasting. It is a programming strand under siege in these more commercial times but this collection looks back to happier days when UK television really could claim to provide a \u2018service in miniature\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Animated Adventures<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 as BFI Southbank pays tribute to Studio Ghibli, they focus on British animation, which has often displayed a surreal touch that would make Ghibli\u2019s legendary co-founder Hayao Miyazaki proud. This selection takes in the delicately beautiful silhouette animation of Lotte Reiniger, the rich colour palette of Halas &amp; Batchelor and\u00a0the more\u00a0lo-fi cartoons of kids\u2019 TV.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><em>Mon closed (except Bank Holidays)<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><em>Tuesday \u2013 Friday: 12:00 \u2013 20:00<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><em>Saturday \u2013 Sunday: 12:30 \u2013 20:00<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Book in advance: 020 7815 1346<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The Mediatheque is free but booking may be advisable, especially at the weekends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Southbank is a great place to take the kids during any school holidays and this spring half term is no exception.
