'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. -- .
