- This monograph was based on doctoral research funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council, carried out between 2004-2008, and updated and extended between 2015-2017. The book provides a political economic account of British independent television, the nature of the labour market within it, and an account of its cultural value. It includes twenty semi-structured interviews with television workers studied longitudinally across a twelve-year period. The book is the only detailed academic study of the independent television industry in the UK and the working lives within it, following the creation of Channel 4 in 1982.
