Contemporary British Television Drama
Author: James Chapman
language: en
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
Release Date: 2020-05-28
The early twenty-first century has seen the emergence of a new style of television drama in Britain that adopts the professional practices and production values of high-end American television while remaining emphatically 'British' in content and outlook. This book analyses eight of these dramas - Spooks, Foyle's War, Hustle, Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes, Downton Abbey, Sherlock and Broadchurch - which have all proved popular with audiences and in their different ways represent the thematic and formal paradigms of post-millennial drama. James Chapman locates new British drama in its institutional and economic contexts, considers their critical and popular reception, and analyses their social politics in relation to their representations of class, gender and nationhood. He demonstrates how contemporary drama has mobilised both new and residual elements in re-configuring genres such as the spy series, cop show and costume drama for the cultural tastes of modern audiences. And it concludes that television drama has played an integral role in both the economic and the cultural export of 'Britishness'.
Teenage Audiences and British Period Drama

Release Date: 2024-07-25
This book provides an engaging insight into the responses of teenage audiences to British period drama, presenting original data collected from young people across England. Situated in relation to debates regarding the heritage film and young people’s consumption of the media, Teenage Audiences and British Period Drama challenges the often homogenous characterisation of teenagers by demonstrating the range of responses this genre inspires in young viewers. Arguing for the period drama’s underestimated relevance to younger audiences, the book details the varied ways that young people use film and television drama to make sense of the world and their place in it, and highlights the under-researched significance of collective viewing in influencing viewer response. Analysis demonstrates the key role that values play in influencing judgements amongst youth audiences, the importance of perceived historical accuracy and the potential for screen texts to inspire a deeper relationship with the past.
