This book focuses on the emerging historical relations between
British television and film culture in the 1950s. Drawing upon
archival research, it does this by exploring the development of the
early cinema programme on television - principally Current Release
(BBC, 1952-3), Picture Parade (BBC, 1956) and Film Fanfare (ABC,
1956-7) - and argues that it was these texts which played the
central role in the developing relations between the media.
Particularly when it comes to Britain, the early co-existence of
television and cinema has been seen as hostile and antagonistic,
but in situating these programmes within the contexts of their
institutional production, aesthetic construction and reception, the
book aims to 'reconstruct' television's coverage of the cinema as
crucial to the fabric of British film and television culture at the
time. It demonstrates how the roles of cinema and television - as
media industries and cultural forms, but crucially as sites of
screen entertainment - effectively came together at this time in
such a way that is unique to this decade.
