Cover of Jonathan Bignell & Stephen Lacey: Popular television drama (PDF)

Popular television drama: critical perspectives’ is a collection of essays examining landmark programmes of the last forty years, from ‘Doctor Who’ to ‘The Office’, and from ‘The Demon Headmaster’ to ‘Queer As Folk’. Contributions from prominent academics focus on the full range of popular genres, from sitcoms to science fiction, gothic horror and children’s drama, and challenge received wisdom by reconsidering how British television drama can be analysed.

Each section is preceded by an introduction in which the editors discuss how the essays address existing problems in the field and also suggest new directions for study. The book is split into three sections, addressing the enduring appeal of popular genres, the notion of ‘quality’ in television drama, and analysing a range of programmes past and present.

Popular television drama: critical perspectives will be of interest to students and researchers in many academic disciplines that study television drama. Its breadth and focus on popular programmes will also appeal to those interested in the shows themselves.
