  Highlighting the decline of artistic aspiration and the advance of market forces, this is an account of television drama, past and present. Taking the late Dennis Potter and the so-called golden age in which he worked as its starting point, this book provides a platform for TV dramatists of today-including renowned auteurs like Alan Bleasdale, Jimmy McGovern, Alan Plater, Lynda La Plante, and Paula Milne. They talk of their struggle for survival in an ever-changing broadcasting climate.
