    摘要、提要註: "British Television Drama" provides resources for critical thinking about key aspects of television drama in Britain since 1960, including institutional, textual, cultural, economic and audience-centred modes of study. It presents and contests significant strands of critical work in the field, since the essays by TV professionals reveal their strongly-held views about TV (which often conflict productively with the views of fellow contributors) and the academics offer reasoned and more developed arguments that advance understanding. The new edition includes a revised chapter by acclaimed TV producer Tony Garnett reflecting on his work since "Cathy Come Home" in the 1960s, new chapters by Phil Redmond the creator of" Brookside" and "Hollyoaks", and Cameron Roach, Head of Drama Commissioning at Sky TV and former executive producer of "Waterloo Road". New academic analyses include work on "Downton Abbey", "The Sarah Jane Adventures", "Ashes to Ashes", adaptations of "Persuasion", and the changing production methods on "Coronation Street". The book's three sections are framed by new introductory essays by the editors to establish and contextualise the primary concerns and methodologies of each chapter.
