British Television by Tise Vahimagi
This is a lavishly illustrated guide to British television from 1936 to the present day. Entries on over 1,100 programmes are arranged chronologically to provide a unique reference guide to our television heritage. Decade by decade, the diversity of British television emerges, from A for Andromeda to Z Cars, Steptoe and Son to Absolutely Fabulous, Armchair Theatre to The Onedin Line and Andy Pandy to The Wombles. Each entry is accompanied by a production still, many of them previously unpublished and some the sole remaining visual record of the programme. Introductions to the decades offer a fascinating overview of trends and developments, technical, creative, and institutional. The Guide is introduced by a witty and personal Foreword by Michael Grade and a detailed Index allows the reader to trace the careers of favourite performers, from Tony Hancock's appearance in Gogol's The Government Inspector to Sean Connery's apprenticeship in 1950s' BBC drama. Comprehensive, accessible, and wonderfully detailed, the Guide will be irresistible reading for all those who have ever been interested in television.| SKU | Unavailable |
