How classic-novel serialisation was pioneered by the BBC is a stirring story, told here by Robert Giddings. Its development, over 60 years, has both reflected and influenced our view of classic literature. Giddings hears from some of the actors, directors and writers who have made these serials so memorable, and searchs for gems from the BBC archives. Producer Sara Davies
