Starting Out (British TV series)

The writers included Catherine Storr, Dave Simpson, Anthony Horowitz and Grazyna Monvid.

[1] The episodes were designed for older pupils who were about to leave school and who would soon be starting out on life as adults.

A new series was made roughly every three years and was totally unrelated to that which came before, so that it was self-contained and relevant to the needs of each new generation of pupils.

Several of the series were first broadcast late at night for preview by an adult audience, sometimes months before they were available to pupils.

[1] The cast across the seven series included Joanna Lumley, Kirsten Hughes, John Savident, Kevin Lloyd, Rolf Saxon,[2] Katharine Levy,[3] Chris Gascoyne, Hywel Williams-Ellis, Nicholas Bond-Owen, Amanda Noar,[4] Nick Conway, Perry Cree, David Nunn, Carol Chell, Rebecca Lacey and Ian Mercer.
