BBC kids programmes were the best!

I clearly remember this and would love to see it again. I would've been about 9 when this was first shown. Would also love to see Striker and Rocky O'Rourke again. I remember watching the programmes and then reading the books at the library. In the 70s every programme seemed to have a 'TV tie-in' book! Can't understand why the BBC don't release these - surely the interest is there? And what about the programmes that were on at tea-time on a Sunday? Phoenix and The Carpet and The Prince and the Pauper spring easiest to mind. I think all of these programmes originally aired in 1976. So either that really was the best year for kids TV or it's that I first started to appreciate great drama then!
