TELEVISION HEAVEN'S FEATURES OF THE MONTH

THE OWL SERVICE
Although broadcast in the 'family slot' on a late Sunday afternoon from 1969 to 1970, 'The Owl Service' was nothing like the typical children's drama series that teenage viewers and their parents had been used to. As a result, it most probably changed the tone and direction that children's drama would take for the next few decades. (Available from late April on DVD).

EMERGENCY-WARD 10
Now available for the first time in any format, Network DVD's release of this classic medical drama features 24 episodes in one box set. Pre-dating television favourites 'Casualty' and 'Holby City' by decades, 'Emergency - Ward 10' was Britain's first medical soap opera. Initially thought of (much like 'Coronation Street') as a filler programme, the twice-weekly serial rapidly became a favourite with the nation's viewing public. Between 1957 and 1967 it regularly pulled in audiences in excess of 15 million and spawned two spin-off programmes and a feature-film adaptation.
