Waggoners' Walk was a soap opera which was broadcast from 28 April 1969 until 30 May 1980 on BBC Radio 2. It was transmitted in the form of 15-minute episodes on weekday afternoons (and until 18 January 1980 was repeated the following morning/midday).
It was set in an estate in Hampstead with most storylines involving the various tenants of No 1 Waggoners' Walk, a large town house divided into several flats. Characters featured in the series included the Vaughan family (original owners of No 1), newspaper editor Mike Nash and his wife, Claire, and Lynn and Matt Prior, who ran a restaurant. When the BBC, as part of cost savings cancelled the series in 1980, the Corporation rejected a request from Capital Radio to take it over. Actors who performed in the series included the Australian actor Barry Creyton and Carole Boyd. The series was created by Jill Hyem and Alan Downer and written by (amongst others) Peter Ling.[1]
