- This is a 120,000-word monograph, which took six years to research and write. Its focus, on postwar television, necessitated the collection and analysis of an extremely large body of material, encompassing the BBC and numerous independent television channels. Sources were frequently difficult to find and access, while the BBC Written Archive Centre has so much material that it took over four years to gather it. The central argument of the book relied gathering these sources from wide selection of programming genres. This meant integrating distinct and wide historiographies (eg, the history of comedy) to drive the analysis.
