Serendipity is a short-lived BBC TV series consisting of 10 episodes, which was broadcast from September to November 1973 at Sunday lunch times on BBC1, presented by actress Katy Manning, who had only recently left her role as Jo Grant in the TV series Doctor Who. It was Manning's first TV presenting role.[1] The series presented a guide to getting started in arts and crafts. The Radio Times carried the tag line "Crafts are for everyone" for each episode listing. A book accompanying the series was published, retailing at 40 pence.[2]
