E-mail: [email protected] In 1974, the lofty ambition of a BBC drama producer to manufacture a ‘prestige’ international hit along the lines of Elizabeth R (BBC2, 1971) came unstuck. In this case study, the authors consider the plight of Churchill’s People (BBC1, 1974-75) during a time of economic strife in the UK and industrial unrest at the BBC, and ask how a series which combined so many skilled writers, directors and actors could result in such a poorly-received end product. Churchill’s People is also placed in a wider context to assess its ‘neglected’ status, the authors drawing parallels with other historical drama of the era. The series’ qualification for being ‘forgotten’ is considered in relation to its struggle in the ratings against strong competition, the ‘blacking out’ by unions of production at the BBC for eight weeks and the subsequent pressures on transmission times, prompting the authors’ consideration of a more qualified definition of ‘lost’ drama, i.e.

Production and distribution • tv sitcom is essentially a ‘writer’s medium’; • although ‘stars’ are important, the characters they play are often more so; • in the US teams of writers v. in the UK, single or paired writers; • once successful, very long runs in the US v. much shorter seasons in the UK; • sitcom ideas have moved both ways across the Atlantic, but often it is easier for UK commentators to recognise those that go from the UK to the US (usually having to be changed to suit American tastes). Recently they have failed to make much impact (e.g. Men Behaving Badly, Coupling); • ‘live action’ shows have been used as the basis for animation (Bilko became Top Cat/Boss Cat, The Flintsones was based on a US family sitcom). The Simpsons has been by far the most successful ‘original’ animation series. 1 http://www.mediaculture-online.de • US shows are ‘syndicated’ across many channels and exported worldwide; • UK production contexts changed with the advent of Channel 4 and the rise of the ‘independent producer’ (sitcoms were the basis for the rise of new companies such as Hat Trick, Celador etc.).
