  The variety that is children's television drama is recalled in this book; shows such as: Grange Hill ; Stig of The Dump ; The Railway Children ; The Magician's House ; The Chronicles of Narnia ; and The Box of Delights . It lists entries on every British-made children's drama to have been shown on UK screens since 1950. Critical appraisals assess the kind of stories told for children, along with all the technical data and trivia. Programmes from the BBC and ITV are assessed, whether they were adaptations of literary classics or new, contemporary dramas, adventure, fantasy or science fiction.
