Bücher von Stephen Lacey

A collection of essays which debates the past, present and future of British television drama. Writers, producers and television executives reflect on the changing face of TV drama, and academics present case studies on critical approaches, general topics and specific programmes.

Tony Garnett is the first book-length study of one of the most respected producers working in British television, responsible for both Cathy Come Home (1966) and This Life (1996-8). The book discusses the ways in which Garnett has shaped the role of the creative producer, and analyses his contribution to a distinctively televisual social realism.
