It analyses the relationship between the physical location of TV series production at Elstree Studios, UK, the representation of place in programmes, and the international trade in television fiction between the UK and USA. The TV series made at Elstree by the ITC and ABC companies and their affiliates linked Britishness with an international modernity associated with the USA, while also promoting national specificity. To do this, they drew on film production techniques that were already common for TV series production in Hollywood.

  • LWT's Pioneering Technology
    LONDON WEEKEND TELEVISION’S PIONEERING TECHNOLOGY by Phil Nott ITV in London is 65 years old in 2020, remaining vital throughout a period of external pressures as well as the changing viewing habits of the population. In this article, I look at the birth and evolution of London Weekend Television, and at the role that technology played in developing its sport and drama output. The biggest change in ITV’s history came with the franchise renewal process of 1968. As a result, the franchisees for London were two new companies - Thames Television on weekdays and London Weekend Television at weekends. LWT was a pioneering and innovative TV company. Many of the changes it introduced still have an impact today, whereas the battle to get there gives us an insight into the politics and business practices of the time. David Frost photo: via wembleyparkstudios.co.uk The story starts in 1967. The main ITV franchise holders had enjoyed prosperity since the late 1950s, with constantly increasing advertising revenues driven by the march towards consumerism. ‘You’ve never had it so good’ Prime Minister Harold Macmillan claimed at the time. Rediffusion London, the London weekday ITV company, was the dominant company. Rival ATV was split between the Midlands in the week and London at the weekends. Granada in the North was a weekday franchise that had an amicable commercial relationship with Rediffusion in London. ABC TV was the weekend TV specialist, with the franchise for both the North and the Midlands at the weekend. Its commercial wrangles were mainly with the other weekend franchise contractor ATV in London.

    Number 166 Tidings Summer 2014 The Teddington Society - Making Teddington an even better place to live and work President Hilton The Society is delighted that Jenny, Baroness Hilton of Eggardon, has agreed to become our President as she stands down from the Chair after eight years. There have only been two previous Presidents: Adam Joseph (1977-1989) founder of the Society and Stanley Grundy (1990 -1994) a prominent local businessman. At the AGM, Vice President John Demont presented Jenny with a gift and thanked her for her continuing support. Jenny with John Demont at the AGM. Letter from the Chair This is my last letter as Chair of the Teddington Society. After eight years, which have been both rewarding and interesting, I have decided that I must divert more of my energies elsewhere. These past eight years have given me the opportunity to learn much more about Teddington and to meet many of its kind, diverse people. The great successes of the past year - the Village Fair, the 150th Railway Anniversary and the celebration of the Society’s 40th year - show what a vibrant organisation the Society is, thanks to the dedicated and enterprising members of the Executive Committee who give their time and energies to organising these events so brilliantly. I am not wholly deserting the affairs of the Teddington Society. The Executive Committee have kindly elevated me to the position of President which will no doubt entail some future tasks(!) and I shall continue to open my garden for Teddington in Flower if asked to do so. Meantime I must thank everyone for the support and encouragement that I have received.
