Style in British Television Drama cover

This pioneering book provides detailed analysis of scenes from nine British television dramas produced between 1954 and 2001. Taking dinner table scenes as a recurring motif, the study analyses changes in televisual style with reference to production practices, technology, aesthetic preferences, and social and institutional change.

'Cooke's is an interesting and tightly-focused book concerned only with the development of aesthetic styles in television, due primarily to changes in technology, but also influenced by changing ideas of television style.' - Derek Johnston, Critical Studies in Television 10.1
