TV and Cars offers a compelling lens on television in a mobile
media era. Cars are vehicles for television, a fixture of the shows
and ads that drive TV. In this original approach to contemporary
television, Paul Grainge looks beyond questions of speed, spoilers
and cylinders to explore the small screen intimacy of cars - the
way people interact, sing and dwell in the habitat of automobiles.
Considering the industrial, cultural and aesthetic relation between
TV and cars, Grainge examines how comedy entertainment such as
sitcoms, talk shows, web series and vlogs have been drawn to the
practice of 'passengering'. Getting under the bonnet of popular
'drive-and-talk' series like The Trip, Carpool Karaoke, Peter Kay's
Car Share and Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, this engaging
interdisciplinary excursion finds new ways to look at both
television and the social life of cars.
