The Family


The fly on the wall series of Spring and Summer 1974 was a programme I really enjoyed back in the year when I was finishing my time at school.  The Wilkins family of Reading were the featured "stars" of the show who allowed TV cameras into their home and lives.  

"Reality" television is now commonplace in the 21st Century, but back then the programme was different and very watchable.  The only member of the family who seemed to be obviously acting was the matriarch Margaret Wilkins, but even so it was for me a fascinating glimpse into other people's lives.
