'The book not only brings academics and TV professionals together in the debate about televised drama but also provides a probing, but not over-technical introduction to the field of British Television Drama to put alongside Nelson's TV Drama in Transition.' - Christian-Martin Czypull, University of Hannover, European Journal of English Studies
