Scooby-Doo has topped the chart as the UK’s favourite kids’ TV show with nearly a quarter of all votes.

The new survey featured 2,300 kids aged 5 to 9, along with their parents, sees slapstick comedy Tom and Jerry come in second place, followed by SpongeBob SquarePants and Peppa Pig in joint third place.

The research by Sky Kids also revealed that kids re-watch their favourite shows an average of 53 times a year.

Dr Sam Wass, the parenting expert and psychologist from Channel 4’s The Secret Life of 4-, 5-, and 6-Year-Olds, commented: “As parents we spend so much time as the authority figure, imposing boundaries and setting rules, so sitting down to watch TV with your child can help to reset and recharge your relationship. Watching and discussing these shows together will allow your child to see the child that was once in you.”

The full list of Top 10 shows of all time, as voted for by children and adults, is as follows:

1. Scooby-Doo = 23%
2. Tom and Jerry = 22%
3. SpongeBob SquarePants = 17%
3. Peppa Pig = 17%
5. Ben & Holly’s Little Kingdom = 14%
