ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
First thanks must go to Rachel Moseley and Richard Dyer at the University of Warwick for teaching me how to be an academic. This book was planned and then later completed in two terms of research leave from the Department of Film, Theatre & Television at the University of Reading. I would like to thank my colleagues’ support for this, in particular John Gibbs and Anna McMullan, who carved out space for me as this project reached its conclusion. Across the life of this book, Amy Holdsworth has provided guidance and feedback, both at the proposal stage and at the close, reading probably multiple versions of the same words. Karen Lury also provided valuable guidance at the proposal stage. Several people gave their time, valuable feedback and advice on chapters: Chris Becker, Jonathan Bignell, Cathy Johnson, Amanda Anna Klein, Rachel Moseley, Ally Peirse, Dave Rolinson, Helen Wheatley and Helen Wood. Sarah Currant was my personal librarian, continual support and offered a keen eye in the closing stages. I also want to thank the third-year FTT students of both Contemporary TV Drama and Television and Contemporary Cul
