In 1944 Lever Brothers sponsored TV versions of two radio soaps Big Sister and Aunt Jenny’s True Life Stories on Dumont’s New York station, but two years later Faraway Hill (2 October to 18 December 1946) – also on Dumont – became the first networked soap opera. Britain’s first TV soap opera was The Grove Family (BBC) which began on 9 April 1954. The family was named after the BBC’s Lime Grove Studio where the production was made.
