90s Childhood Fears: TV Moments, Urban Legends & Things That Terrified Us

What spooked you most as a kid — the thing you still feel in your chest even though you know better now? We go deep into the odd and unforgettable fears that shaped our UK childhoods: the icy prickle of the World In Action theme, the way Doctor Who’s opening could send you behind the sofa, and why the BBC Test Card felt like it might blink if you stared too long. Follow the show, share it with a friend who loved the Beano but dreaded quicksand, and leave a review with your most irrational childhood fear — we’ll read our favourites on a future episode.
