Omnibus: Jack, the Lad

on BBC One London

The arts documentary series marks its return by taking one of Britain's most acclaimed and prolific writers, Jack Rosenthal, on a retrospective journey to revisit the people and places which inspired his career over the first 30 years of his life, up to the point, in 1961, when he wrote the first of his 129 Coronation Street episodes. The film includes contributions from his family and friends from his days at school, university, and in the Navy, who provided influence for his work. Jack Rosenthal's acclaimed play Bar Mitzvah Boy follows this programme at 11.35pm.
