The Road to Fame Or Failure? . 206 Chapter 1 The Demise S a teenager, Thomas Morgan, from inner-city Dublin, had Sir Alex Ferguson in his living room, A trying to persuade the 15-year-old midfielder to abandon his plans to join Blackburn Rovers. They were emerging as title rivals to Ferguson’s Manchester United and he was keen for Morgan to move to Old Trafford. Morgan chose Blackburn, signing for the Ewood Park side in 1994. A year later, Blackburn won their one and only Premier League title. But despite training with the league-winning squad, and making the bench for league and European matches, Morgan found himself released – and without a club – almost three years later. It was only weeks before captaining the Ireland Under-20s to a third-place finish in the 1997 World Championships in Malaysia. Put simply, Morgan fell by the wayside as Blackburn – and their Premier League rivals – regularly shunned the promotion of youth in favour of big-money signings. The 19 WHERE HAVE ALL THE IRISH GONE? birth of the Premier League in 1992 ushered in an era of stellar signings, compounded by the Bosman ruling in 1995, which removed obstacles to foreign players playing in England – a double whammy which would change the fortunes of Irish players for ever.
  • Mention the War: British Sitcoms and Military Masculinity

    Mention the War: British Sitcoms and Military Masculinity

    93 ANETTE PANKRATZ Mention the War: British Sitcoms and Military Masculinity 1. Introduction "Military virtues such as aggression, strength, courage and endurance have repeatedly been defined as the natural and inherent qualities of manhood" and "the soldier has become the quintessential figure of masculinity" (Dawson 1994, 1; cf. Braun 1996, 180; Connell 2005, 73, 213). Despite the assertive tone of these statements, military masculinity is fraught with contradictions and paradoxes. Soldiering, especially the killing of people in combat, can be seen as morally ambiguous (Braun 1996, 180). More importantly, the ideal type of military masculinity can never be reached and is enmeshed in a "dense web of double binds" (Belkin 2012, 4), that is, in disciplinary rituals that address soldiers as "girls" or "poofs" or in exercises that infantilise and feminise them (Belkin 2012, 33). Since the abolishment of National Service in 1961, serving in the army has become a very specialised occupation for a minority of the population in Britain and the warrior hero has been superseded by figures such as the "entrepreneurial individual" (Connell 2005, 254). (British) situation comedies featuring soldiers, from The Army Game (ITV, 1957- 1966) to Bluestone 42 (BBC, 2013-2015), broach this field of tensions with comic intent. They operate with incongruity between the exemplary figure of the warrior hero and its real-life performance, either by turning the norm upside down or by exaggerating and stereotyping it. The implicit juxtaposition of the ideal and its comic Other also puts into play different versions of masculinity, from the anxiously overt or the supposedly 'normal' to the deficient or explicitly dissident.

    Church & Media Conference transcript Panellists: James Cary (chairing the session) Daisy Coulam Bryony Taylor Frank Williams James Cary Thank you very much for coming to this session entitled "More Tea Vicar" produced by the Sandford St Martin Trust. And hopefully over the next ….minutes we're going to be thinking particularly about the portrayal of the clergy on television. And I have a fantastic panel here with us. I have on my right Frank Williams who played the Reverent Timothy Farthing in the much loved series 'Dad's Army'. I have Bryony Taylor. Bryony has written a book called "More TV Vicar?" and has been given a lot of thought to this particular subject. I'm very excited to be hearing more about that. And we also have Daisy Coulam who has adapted James Runcie's books for ITV's series "Grantchester". (Applause) Which has prompted applause, quite rightly so. Brilliant. We're going to kick things off though with a clip, let's start this whole thing with a drunken fight! Clip 'Dad's Army' IN: "Come along now the Vicar's waiting for you… OUT: “…don’t push the organist.” + JOSTLING James Cary Excellent an outdoor service turned into a drunken fight. What an excellent way to start this discussion. Frank do you remember that day particularly filming? Frank Williams I remember it very well indeed, yes indeed. James Cary Was it as much fun to film as it looks? Frank Williams It was great fun. James Cary Excellent, now, go on sorry. Frank Williams Well I was going to say the extraordinary thing is, I think the great appeal of 'Dad's Army' was a kind of nostalgia for an England that doesn't exist anymore.

It argues that an exploration of sitcoms reveals the mindset of postwar Britons and highlights how television developed both as an industry and as a public institution. This research demonstrates how Britain metamorphosed in this period from a welfare state with an implicit promise to establish a meritocratic and expert-based society, into a multiracial, consumer society ruled by the market. It illustrates how this turnabout of British society was formulated, debated, and shaped in British sitcoms. This dissertation argues that both democratization (resulting from the expansion of the franchise after World War I) and decolonization in the post-World War II era, established culture as a prominent political space in which interaction and interconnection between state and society took place. Therefore, this work focuses on culture and on previously less noticed parties to the negotiation over power in society such as, media institutions, media practitioners, and their audiences.
