"The definitive guide for scholars and fans alike to all things
Masterpiece and Mystery!" Library Journal, Starred Review On a
wintry night in 1971, Masterpiece Theatre debuted on PBS. Fifty
years later, America's appetite for British drama has never been
bigger. The classic television program has brought its fans
protagonists such as The Dowager Countess and Ross Poldark and
series that include Downton Abbey and Prime Suspect. In
Masterpiece: America's 50-Year-Old Love Affair with British
Television Drama, Nancy West provides a fascinating history of the
acclaimed program. West combines excerpts from original interviews,
thoughtful commentary, and lush photography to deliver a deep
exploration of the television drama. Vibrant stories and anecdotes
about Masterpiece's most colorful shows are peppered throughout,
such as why Benedict Cumberbatch hates Downton Abbey and how
screenwriter Daisy Goodwin created a teenage portrait of Queen
Victoria after fighting with her daughter about homework. Featuring
an array of photos from Masterpiece's best-loved dramas, this book
offers a penetrating look into the program's influence on
television, publishing, fashion, and its millions of fans.
