Why Don't You?! played to millions of kids in the school holidays on BBC1. It began in 1973 and lasted until 1995, meaning the show touched several generations over nearly a quarter of a century.
Among the presenters Ant from Ant and Dec, among the producers - Russell T Davies but there were dozens more who cut their tv teeth on this show presented by children.
Here Ashley meets one of them down at the Midland Hotel in Manchester - Phil Noble was in the Liverpool gang from 1987.
Phil tells us how he landed the role, how the show worked behind the scenes and what it did for his life and other presenters who hosted WDY over the years.
Ashley and Phil also talk about how the show was seen by kids - this was marmite TV, you literally either loved it loathed it.
Presented and produced by Ashley Byrne. Research by Andrew Edwards
Continuity: Andy Hoyle and Jonathan Kydd.
A Made in Manchester Production.
