- What makes British television crime drama perennially popular, in the UK and internationally? This volume (256pp.) takes a character-based approach to the genre and explores the cultural relevance of some of the more popular and powerful television detectives. Offering a sustained series of close analyses with explorations of social implications, this is a major expansion of the field. The in-depth attention to the shifting figure of the television detective – so ubiquitous in popular culture yet under-examined – is highly original. This book won the BAFTSS award for best book in 2016, and has become a key point of reference.
