This volume presents the first ever comprehensive anthology of dramatic television serials. For the purposes of this book a serial is defined as a drama broadcast in a number of episodes telling one connected story. The rise and development of the serial into its current and well-loved form has not been chronicled in this way before. Up till now it has been extremely difficult to study the British serial in any coherent way many varied and scattered sources would have had to be consulted.
