Ann and Harold was the first ever British television serial.[1] The program, written by Louis Goodrich, ran on BBC television for a total of five 20-minute episodes in July and August 1938.[2] It starred Ann Todd and William Hutchison in the "story of a London society couple's romance, from their meeting to their grand society wedding."[2]

No footage of the show survives, as it was aired live before any means of recording television programs existed. Two photographs exist as a visual record of the production.[3]
