Magic Moments

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Nigel Fountain presents a five-part series marking the moments when aspects of contemporary life first came into being. 1: Such a Jolly Lot
The British TV soap opera began with The Grove Family in 1954. They were a far cry from the Ewings of today - plots involved them fitting security locks to windows and buying Grandma a new wheelchair. The programme charts the progress of TV's ratings-grabbers.
