Book SynopsisThis book examines in depth for the first time the origins, development, and reception of the major dramatic screen representations of ''The Few'' in the Battle of Britain produced over the past seventy years. It explores both continuity and change of presentation in relation to a wartime event that acquired near-mythical dimensions in popular consciousness even before it happened and has been represented multiple times over the course of the past seven decades. Alongside technical developments, considerable social, cultural, and political fluctuation (as well as an expansion of factual knowledge concerning the battle itself) occurred in this period, all of which helped to shape how the battle came to be framed at particular junctures. The ways in which the Battle of Britain was being represented in other fictional forms as well histories and commemorations form part of the context in which screen representations are explored. Films discussed in detail include The Lion Has Wings, First of the Few, AngTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; Introduction; Chapter 1 - The Battle Foretold: The Lion Has Wings (1939); Chapter 2 - Spitfire of Dreams: The First of the Few (1942); Chapter 3 - One For All: Angels One Five (1952); Chapter 4 - All for One: Reach for the Sky (1956); Chapter 5 - The Big Picture: The Battle of Britain (1969); Chapter 6 - Catalogue of Error: Piece of Cake (1988); Chapter 7 - The Fighter Boys: A Perfect Hero (1991); Conclusion; Select Filmography; Bibliography.

Book SynopsisWhy are some controversial issues covered in TV soaps and dramas and not others? How are decisions really made ''behind the scenes''? How do programme makers push boundaries without losing viewers? What do audiences take away from their viewing experience? Does TV fiction have a greater impact on public understandings than TV news?

The modern television landscape is defined by influential and ambitious shows for and about teenagers. Groundbreaking series like Euphoria, Sex Education, and Pen15 dominate awards season and lead the way when it comes to progressive, diverse, and creative storytelling.

Book SynopsisFor several decades, cultural imperialism has been the dominant paradigm for conceptualizing, labeling, predicting, and explaining the effects of international television. It has been used as an unchallenged premise for numerous essays on the topic of imported television influence, despite the fact that the assumption of strong cultural influence is not necessarily reflected in the body of research that exists within this field of study. In The Impact of International Television: A Paradigm Shift, editor Michael G. Elasmar and his contributors challenge the dominant paradigm of cultural imperialism, and offer an alternative paradigm with which to evaluate international or crossborder message influence. In this volume, Elasmar has collected original research from leading scholars working in the area of crossborder media influence, and contributes his own meta-analysis to examine what research findings actually show on the influences of crossborder messages. The contributTrade Review"Taken as a whole, the volume makes its case for a paradigm shift away from CI [cultural imperialism]. As the old saying goes, this book seems to say, there are simple answers to complex questions--but they are wrong."—Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly"The book is a must read for anyone interested in the influence of cross-border television flows....Overall, this book is a good addition to the literature on international communication and makes for interesting reading."—The Southern Communication Journal"This book takes up a challenge from more than two decades ago and examines the evidence for claims that are still around though dressed in diffeent language. It brings together that evidence and identifies the complexity of the process of media influence. The challenge to rectify this lack will depend on moving the audience issue back into the public policy limelight."—Communication Research TrendsTable of ContentsContents: Preface. M.G. Elasmar, K.

Book SynopsisNo theatre company has been involved in such a broad range of adaptations for television and cinema as the Royal Shakespeare Company. Starting with Richard III filmed in the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre before World War One, the RSC's accomplishments continue today with highly successful live cinema broadcasts. The Wars of the Roses (BBC, 1965), Peter Brook's film of King Lear (1971), Channel 4's epic version of Nicholas Nickleby (1982) and Hamlet with David Tennant (BBC, 2009) are among their most iconic adaptations. Many other RSC productions live on as extracts in documentaries, as archival recordings, in trailers and in other fragmentary forms.Screening the Royal Shakespeare Company explores this remarkable history of collaborations between stage and screen and considers key questions about adaptation that concern all those involved in theatre, film and television. John Wyver is a broadcasting historian and the producer of RSC LiTrade ReviewOne of the most significant achievements of this book is Wyver's scrupulously thorough investigation ... [A] meticulously researched, amply documented and wonderfully wide-ranging study. * Times Literary Supplement *A treasure trove of information … This well-written book will be a basis for further research and a standard for the interaction between RSC and the screen. It is one of those books that you read and think: yes, about time. * Journal of Adaptation in Film & Performance *This is a book full of facts and informed judgements, and that makes Screening the Royal Shakespeare Company: A Critical History by far one of the most useful scholarly books I have read in some time. Now I want to catch up with John Wyver’s past work. * The Shakespeare Newsletter *Remarkable ... A narrative that dramatically (the pun is deliberate) transforms our knowledge and understanding of the filming of theatre and of the particularly complex and varied negotiations between theatre productions on the one hand and the film and television media on the other...It will take us all a long time to catch up with the riches of what Wyver has accomplished here but we will find the journey exhilarating and profoundly rewarding. * Theatre Notebook *Provides an insider’s look at how the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) has navigated the often-turbulent world of broadcasting productions of Shakespeare. He provides a historical account of the recording and broadcasting of productions by the RSC that covers ten decades … Though one can find myriad resources on the adaptation of Shakespeare to film, Wyver focuses specifically on how the RSC adapts live Shakespearean productions for television and film; he keeps in mind both the integrity of the stage and an audience’s expectation of more than a static, single camera recording. Thus the volume is an important contribution to adaptation studies. Summing Up: Recommended * CHOICE *The RSC’s relationship with screen media is a topic that has long needed its history written, and Wyver is the ideal writer for the task. Lucidly marshalling a wealth of research, including exciting new discoveries, this book comprehensively chronicles the company’s complex interactions with broadcasters and filmmakers from the 1950s to the present day. It will be essential reading for anyone interested in Shakespeare on stage and on screen. -- Susanne Greenhalgh, University of Roehampton, UKA careful, richly detailed and painstaking work of history... a huge achievement of patient archival research and practical industry knowledge, which will become a standard reference work for those of us toiling in this area -- Peter Kirwan, University of Nottingham, UKTable of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgements Note on the Text Introduction Chapter 1: Beginners, 1910-59 Chapter 2: Television Times, 1962-68 Chapter 3: Making Movies, 1964-73 Chapter 4: Intimate Spaces, 1972-82 Chapter 5: Toil and Troubles, 1982-2012 Chapter 6: Now-ness, 2000-18 Notes Filmography Bibliography Index
