Having been a Casting Director for the last twenty years I can honestly say that the most inspirational writers, directors, producers I have worked with over the years have been those involved in Kids TV and I cannot emphasise enough how horrified I am (as both an avid fan, viewer and mother) that these incredibly important home-grown programmes may soon be disappearing from our screens.
