Lecturer in Film and Television Studies Jason Jacobs

This book challenges the idea that early television drama consisted of static plays relayed from the theatre. It draws on new archival evidence, including an analysis of the groundbreaking BBC production of Nineteen Eighty-Four (1954). The book demonstrates that television drama pioneers produced a diverse and innovative range of plays.
