Families was a daytime soap opera produced by Granada Television and created by Kay Mellor. It followed two families; the Thompsons, based in Cheshire, England, and the Stevens, living in Sydney, Australia.
The first episode was broadcast on 23 April 1990, though it only lasted a couple of years. After poor viewing figures in the afternoon slot, it was relaunched and moved to a late night slot. The show was axed in 1993 after 320 episodes.
A new family was introduced during the summer of 1992 — the Bannermans.
The theme music was by Matthew Scott. Several of those who worked on the series went on to higher-profile later careers: Jude Law appeared as a regular, and Russell T. Davies wrote for the programme.
