22 across: It follows - each time - a TV programme (4,5)

This was the first answer that I entered in the grid: soap opera, thinking that I understood it, but on checking it again I can nearly! but not quite parse it. It fits with my other answers. Help would be appreciated.

t follows: SO
each: A POP (as in five dollars a pop)
time: ERA

it follows

Thanks. Not heard of a pop.
