The New Statesman (1987 - 1992) starring Rick Mayall as Alan B'Stard, the selfish Tory boy, showing YTV was as versatile and astute as its rivals and still capable of breaking new ground 20 years after it launched.

A Touch of Frost (1984 - Present) now in its 15th season, each episode is a well crafted, polished dainty to be savoured by its audience: already a paid-up member of TV's hall of fame.

Guildford Four (1984) the documentary led to a public inquiry and quashing of convictions of supposed terrorists and subsequently did the same for the Macguire Seven.

Too Long A Winter (1973) one of the first documentaries which generated a massive viewer response and made a star of its subject, Hannah Hauxwell.

Darling Buds of May (1991 - 1993) it found a place in all our hearts as it explored an idyllic vision of peaceful post-war, rural England; it was a Sunday night slice of heaven.
