Liverpool on the Box

Producers, dramatists and stars recall some of the programmes inspired by Liverpool. For half a century, British television has followed the changing fortunes of the city. At the same time, some of our finest screenwriters and film-makers have reflected the city's triumphs and tragedies in much-loved TV dramas, documentaries, and comedies, such as The Liver Birds, Bread, Brookside and Z-Cars. Features interviews with Willy Russell, Phil Redmond, Nerys Hughes, Eddie Braben, Gerry Marsden, Carla Lane and Ken Loach.
