This book explores adaptation in its various forms in contemporary
television drama. It considers the mechanics of adaptation as an
ever-more prevalent form of production, most notably in the
reworking of literary sources for television. It also explores the
broader process through which the television industry as a whole is
currently making necessary adaptations in how it tells stories,
especially in relation to important concerns of equality, diversity
and inclusion. Offering and analysing 16 original interviews with
leading British television producers, writers, directors,
production designers, casting directors and actors, and with a
particular focus on female and/or minority-ethnic industry
perspectives, the book examines some of the key professional and
creative approaches behind television adaptations today. The book
connects these industry insights to the existing conceptual and
critical frameworks of television studies and adaptation studies,
illuminating the unique characteristics of television adaptation as
a material mode of production, and revealing television itself as
an inherently adaptive artform.
The first collection of its kind to bring together scholarly and
practitioner perspectives, this book analyses the experiences,
skills and techniques of actors when working on television.
Featuring eleven chapters by internationally distinguished
researchers and actor trainers, this collection examines the acting
processes and resulting performances of some of the most acclaimed

actor training for television; actor well-being in the television
industry; performance in reality television and British and Irish
actors in contemporary US television and film. The book also
contains case studies examining the work of Emmy-award-winning
actor Viola Davis and the iconic character of Gene Hunt in Life on
Mars (BBC, 2006-2007).
