See, Lister, adults have this thing called money, and it costs money, due
to rights, repeat fees, etc to air these old shows. It probably costs LESS
money to make new shows.
Early morning pre-school programmes have a budget of pennies.
The majority of pre-school shows made today are knocked out through a
computer, with a z-list celebrity doing the voice-over, and distributed
throughout the world, with the only change being the voice-over. TV
channels buy them in for pennies (possibly a one-off payment, or at the
very least, would have to pay a tiny royalty / repeat fee each time it's
shown), and make it back from advertising revenue (or through the
government, who probably state that a certain amount of airtime has to be
given to education, but I can't be certain on that).
They can't do that with old archive shows.
Some channels DO repeat the shows, as has been pointed out, but this is for
nostalgia / entertainment purposes only.
I notice they've remade the Mr. Men using this shocking computerised style.
Sacrilege.

He's probably forgotten what the original subject was.
Come to think of it... so have I. :)
