Americans have been watching and enjoying British television
programming since the mid-1950s, but the information on the
personalities involved is difficult, if not impossible, to find in
the United States. This guide provides biographical essays,
complete with bibliographies, on 100 of the best known and loved
actors and actresses from Richard Greene (Robin Hood) and William
Russell (Sir Lancelot) in the 1950s through stars of Masterpiece
Theatre, including Robin Ellis and Jean Marsh, to the new
generation of British comedy performers such as Alexei Sayle and
Jennifer Saunders. Not only are serious dramatic actors and
actresses, such as Joan Hickson and Roy Marsden to be found here,
but also the great comedy stars, including Benny Hill and John
Inman. Among the many shows discussed in the text are Absolutely
Fabulous; Are You Being Served?; Dad's Army; Doctor Who;
EastEnders; Fawlty Towers; The Good Life; The Jewel in the Crown;
Poldark; Rumpole of the Bailey; Upstairs, Downstairs; and Yes,
Minister. The guide offers not only factual information but also
samplings of contemporary critical commentary and in-depth
interviews with Terence Alexander, Richard Briers, Benny Hill,
Wendy Richard, Prunella Scales, and Moray Watson. This is a
reference source that also serves as a fascinating entree into the
wonderful world of British television, one that is as fun to browse
as it is to use for factual documentation.
