Back to The War Between Land and Sea (!) I wouldn't say it's a children's programme, but it is certainly a family show. When I saw it advertised, I presumed it would be in the traditional family slot leading up to Christmas. Programmes such as the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, the Golden Compass etc. have been shown at 5 or 6pm on the Sundays leading up to Christmas. Scheduling it at 9pm is bizarre. There are few enough family viewing opportunities as it is, I think it's a shame that 'Children's TV' has become separated from mainstream.
