This book will be the first systematic and comprehensive text to
analyze the many and contrasting appearances of the Church of
England on television. It covers a range of genres and programs
including crime drama, science fiction, comedy, including the
specific genre of 'ecclesiastical comedy', zombie horror and
non-fiction broadcasting. Readers interested in church and
political history, popular culture, television and broadcasting
history, and the social history of modern Britain will find this to
be a lively and timely book. Programs that year after year sit
enshrined as national favourites (for example Dad's Army and
Midsomer Murders) foreground the Church. From the Queen's Christmas
Message to royal weddings and Coronation Street, the clergy and
services of England's national church abound in television. This
book offers detailed analysis of landmark examples of small screen
output and raises questions relating to the storytelling strategies
of program makers, the way the established Church is delineated,
and the transformation over decades of congregations into
audiences.
