Sobre IBD

Since the 1950s British broadcasters have used American programmes as schedule fillers, cornerstones and as ’must see’ attractions. However, many critics, broadcasters and scholars alike have tended to malign, ignore or sideline the contribution such programmes have made to British television. Through analysis of popular and industrial discourses, the changing roles of such programmes on British screens and interviews with key British broadcasters, this work explores how American programs have become an important part of British television culture.

  • Staging Nationalism
    Kiki Gounaridou
    When a nation wants to reconnect with a sense of national identity, its cultural celebrations, including its theatre, are often tinged with nostalgia for a cultural high point in its history.
