  • Description

    Drawing on extensive archival research, this book explores what can be termed case studies in popular program culture on 1950’s British television, with a particular focus on the BBC. Histories of 1950s British television have perpetuated the assumption that BBC television in this period was staid, elitist and paternalistic, while the competition from commercial television (ITV) was populist and appealing - capturing the increasingly mass audience for the medium and subsequently forcing the BBC to ‘catch up’.

    Britain’s failure to achieve this objective, dramatised by the horrifying tragedy of the Irish famine of 1846-50, in which a million Irish died, set the context for the emergence of a popular mass nationalism, expressed in the Fenian, Parnell, and Sinn Fein movements, which eventually expelled Britain from the greater part of the island.
