Children's Favorites are BBC Radio program broadcasts from 1954 to 1984 and Christmas editions from 2007 to 2015. Originally broadcast in the Light Program on Saturday morning from 9.10 am to 9.55 pm , 9:00 to 10:00). His precursor from 1952 titled Children's Choices , echoed the workday of Housewarming .
This program plays demand from children of all ages. For most of its implementation, the program was introduced by Derek McCulloch, Uncle Mac. McCulloch's grandfather's tone is basically the BBC 'old-school'. The opening words are "Hello kids, everywhere!", Her catch phrase is a modification of her closing words that are much earlier "Good night children, everywhere" at Children's Hours .
Children write with frequent requests just to get their name mentioned on the radio. McCulloch made sure that all kinds of music were played whatever the majority demanded: not just pieces of children but a variety of music ranging from pop to hymn to classic light. The signature tune until the mid-1960s was Edward White's "Puffin 'Billy" played by the Melody Light Orchestra.

McCulloch made his final broadcast in 1965 and several other presenters on trial including Leslie Crowther. After Radio 1 and Radio 2 were launched, the show was renamed to Junior Choice and simultaneously broadcast on both stations and Puffin 'Billy replaced by the instrumental version from the hit Seekers Morningtown Ride played by Stan Butcher, from his 1966 album His His Birds and Brass .
In February 1968, Ed 'Stewpot' Stewart took over from Crowther and hosted for eleven years, attracting over 17 million listeners. Style becomes less comfortable and less respectful. As tastes change, new favorites are added, though some old favorites persist for years. Pop notes, compared to special recordings for children, were asked more often when the 1970s developed. The program often features old favorites like "A Windmill in Old Amsterdam" by Ronnie Hilton and "My Brother" by Terry Scott. The show was peppered with phrase-catching jingle like "'Ello Darlin'", recorded by unknown patients at the hospital in Billericay, and "Happy Birthday to You" sung by an eight-year-old boy from a football club in Crosskey, on team coach after match.
In 1980 Stewart was replaced by Tony Blackburn, but by then the program was considered outdated. The title of Junior Choice was dropped in the early months of 1982, but a similar program, now titled Tony Blackburn's Saturday Show and Tony Blackburn's Sunday Show continued until September 23, 1984, after Blackburn left Radio 1, Peter Powell took over the weekend breakfast, and the relationship with the "Uncle Mac" era broke down.
In 2007, Stewart brought the show back to the aircast for what became two special Christmas Days, the last being Christmas 2015 when Ed Stewart died in January 2016.
On December 25, 2017, the Christmas Day Junior Choice program is presented by Anneka Rice for 2 hours, 10.00 am to 12 noon.
