Throughout its history, British television has found a place, if
only in its margins, for programmes that consciously worked to
expand the boundaries of television aesthetics. Even in the present
climate of increased academic interest in television history, its
experimental tradition has generally either been approached
generically or been lost within the assumption that television is
simply a mass medium. Avaible for the first time in paperback,
Experimental British television uncovers the history of
experimental television, bringing back forgotten programmes in
addition to looking at relatively more privileged artists or
programme strands from fresh perspectives. The book therefore goes
against the grain of dominant television studies, which tends to
place the medium within the flow of the 'everyday', in order to
scrutinise those productions that attempted to make more serious
interventions within the medium. -- .
