Lytton's Diary is a 1985–86 British comedy-drama programme created and written by Peter Bowles and Philip Broadley. Produced by Thames Television for ITV, it originated as a single play on the anthology programme Storyboard before expanding into two popular series, known for their mix of glamour, intrigue, and social commentary. Bowles stars as Neville Lytton, a suave and successful Fleet Street gossip columnist for the Daily News. Lytton navigates the world of high-society scandals, political corruption, and personal challenges, balancing his professional life with his love life and his ambition to write a novel.

A British Picture follows Walter, an eccentric foreigner adrift in London with his pet skull Galathea, hopelessly in love with his landlady Charlotte. Part travelogue, part experimental satire of English cinema clichés, the film frames the city as a canvas where images break free of their restraints.
