Granadaland

Granada Television was once described as the ‘greatest television company in the world.’ And indeed during the 1970s and 1980s it boasted programmes such as Coronation Street, World In Action, Brideshead Revisited, The Jewel In The Crown, Seven Up and Disappearing World, all of them award winning and highly acclaimed, both by both critics and the general public. Many of these programmes, along with their presenters, remain legendary in television history.

The aim of this project is to collect the memories of those who worked for Granada at its Manchester, London and Liverpool offices between 1956 and 1990. These interviews include presenters, producers, researchers, directors, camera operators, stagehands, production assistants, accountants and many others who worked for the company.
