The PSB channels (BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three, BBC Four, ITV1, Channel 4, Channel 5, BBC News, S4C and BBC Alba) are expected together to fulfil the purposes and characteristics, although it is also acknowledged that each PSB channel has a specific remit. • The PSB tracker asks respondents to rate specific TV channels on each of the PSB purposes and characteristics relevant to that channel. • The PSB purposes and characteristics were put into everyday language for the PSB Tracker survey, which asked respondents to give their opinions on the PSB statements, both in terms of their importance, and their delivery by the PSB channels (see slides below). • Regular viewers of each channel were asked to rate the channel on the statements, using a ten-point scale. Within this report a rating of 7, 8, 9 or 10 has been taken as a positive response, indicating that a viewer sees the channel/channels as delivering against this purpose/characteristic. • The survey reports the opinions of self-defined ‘regular viewers’ of each PSB channel, on the delivery of that channel’s PSB purposes and characteristics.

  • Channel 4 and British Film: an Assessment Of
    Channel 4 and British Film: An Assessment of Industrial and Cultural Impact, 1982-1998 Laura Mayne This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth. September 2014 i Abstract This thesis is an historical investigation of Channel 4’s influence on the British film industry and on British film culture between 1982 and 1998. Combining archival research with interview testimony and secondary literature, this thesis presents the history of a broadcaster’s involvement in British film production, while also examining the cultural and industrial impact of this involvement over time. This study of the interdependence of film and television will aim to bring together aspects of what have hitherto been separate disciplinary fields, and as such will make an important contribution to film and television studies. In order to better understand this interdependence, this thesis will offer some original ideas about the relationship between film and television, examining the ways in which Channel 4’s funding methods led to new production practices. Aside from the important part the Channel played in funding (predominantly low-budget) films during periods when the industry was in decline and film finance was scarce, this partnership had profound effects on British cinema in the 1980s and 1990s. In exploring these effects, this thesis will look at the ways in which the film funding practices of the Channel changed the landscape of the film industry, offered opportunities to emerging new talent, altered perceptions of British film culture at home and abroad, fostered innovative aesthetic practices and brought new images of Britain to cinema and television screens.
