[Sophie Crane · Rating 5 out of 5]

Produced in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of ITV, Cherry's profusely illustrated study, designed for general readers, offers an interesting but somewhat disordered history of the network and survey of its programming. He focuses on the network's live action, non-telefantastic programming produced primarily for adult audiences.
