The variety that is children's television drama is recalled in this book; shows such as: 'Grange Hill'; 'Stig of The Dump'; 'The Railway Children'; 'The Magician's House'; 'The Chronicles of Narnia'; and 'The Box of Delights'. It lists entries on every British-made children's drama to have been shown on UK screens since 1950. Critical appraisals assess the kind of stories told for children, along with all the technical data and trivia. Programmes from the BBC and ITV are assessed, whether they were adaptations of literary classics or new, contemporary dramas, adventure, fantasy or science fiction.
Alistair McGown is a Web Designer and has written articles in Dreamwatch magazine and Doctor Who magazine. Mark J. Docherty works in the Financial Services industry and has written for and edited a number of amateur magazines within sci-fi fan circles. He is also the moderator of Century, a discussion forum devoted to the discussion of children's television in Britain.
