Amazon has made some programmes on its streaming TV service, Prime Video, free for everyone in a bid to help parents keep their kids entertained during the coronavirus lockdown.

There are programmes aimed both at pre-schoolers and 6-11 year olds in the promotion, dubbed 'Free For All', and they're all now available free to anyone with an Amazon account - not just members of the Prime delivery-and-streaming service.

The free-for-all collection mostly consists of Amazon's original children's programming, which might not contain many household names but has plenty to offer.

The star attraction, however, has to be the first seven series of Peppa Pig - that's 182 5-minute episodes, amounting to more than 15 hours of priceless distracted toddler.

And there's also 10 series of Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom, which comes from the same makers and shares a similar sense of adult-friendly wry humour.
