Serial

A serial is a lot like a series in that it a set of related programs that are on TV rather than in cinema. It is usually a work of fiction which is split into multiple parts and broadcasts every day or at least once a week. For example today's episode will always link to yesterdays episode, this is what draws the audience in as they want to know what is going to happen. Soap Operas (Soap's) are a example of serial TV.

The Example of Serial Television I went for was ITV's Coronation Street as it is the longest running Soap Opera in British Television history. It aired its first episode on 9th December 1960 and it has been on every day since, It is incredible as the show celebrated it's 9000 episode on the 28th September 2016.
