RETRO TELLY is about the people who made British television worth staying in for.

Each video takes one programme, from sixties sitcoms to Sunday-night drama, and follows its cast from the studio floor to today: who is still with us, who we have lost, and the lives they led in between.

Every script is researched from obituaries, interviews and public records and written for this channel, with our own view of why the programme mattered. The narration is an AI voice; the research, writing and opinions are ours.
