The first part of this book assesses how television presents
viewers with information - contrasting the 'official reality' of
news and current affairs programmes with the anarchic view of the
world put out by such as Morecambe and Wise and the two Ronnies. It
challenges the politics of programme schedules and takes care to
consider the language used in programs designed for different
purposes. The second, inspiring part contains accounts of three of
the author's collaborative video projects which aimed to use the
medium of video storytelling to access a different way of teaching.
The third and most polemical part of the book explores more about
education in relation to television and video. Originally published
in 1981, it is a book about the way that television, through
massive and constant reinforcement, made its own language the only
language; and it presents the attempts - instructive, hilarious,
occasionally quite touching - made by the author and students to
discover other possible languages that television might use.
