    Springhill was a British soap opera created by Paul Abbott, produced by Granada Television, and broadcast from 1 October 1996 to 18 June 1997 on the Sky One satellite channel, and later on Channel 4.[1] It consisted of 2 series, each containing 26 episodes.

    Set in Liverpool, Springhill based its main theme on the battle between good and evil, entwined around a complex family drama.[2] Issues covered included adoption revelation, genetic sexual attraction, bigamy, homosexuality, infertility, surrogacy and murder.[3] Aside from this there was a supernatural aspect, which included elements of religion, Angels, apparitions, witchcraft, time travel and the Second Coming of Christ.[4][5]
