The manifesto for dramatic techniques innovated at BBC Television in the 1960s subsequently proved highly influential and is frequently cited in histories of British television drama (Caughie 2000, Cooke 2003, Hill 2007). The article called for the rejection of naturalism in television drama, and for new modernist forms to be created in its place. Kennedy Martin identified ‘nat’ television drama as deriving from nineteenth century theatrical traditions, complaining that it looked “to Ibsen and Shaw for guidance” (23).

  • The North of England in British Wartime Film, 1941 to 1946. Alan
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by CLoK The North of England in British Wartime Film, 1941 to 1946. Alan Hughes, University of Central Lancashire The North of England is a place-myth as much as a material reality. Conceptually it exists as the location where the economic, political, sociological, as well as climatological and geomorphological, phenomena particular to the region are reified into a set of socio-cultural qualities that serve to define it as different to conceptualisations of England and ‘Englishness’. Whilst the abstract nature of such a construction means that the geographical boundaries of the North are implicitly ill-defined, for ease of reference, and to maintain objectivity in defining individual texts as Northern films, this paper will adhere to the notion of a ‘seven county North’ (i.e. the pre-1974 counties of Cumberland, Westmorland, Northumberland, County Durham, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Cheshire) that is increasingly being used as the geographical template for the North of England within social and cultural history.1 The British film industry in 1941 As 1940 drew to a close in Britain any memories of the phoney war of the spring of that year were likely to seem but distant recollections of a bygone age long dispersed by the brutal realities of the conflict. Outside of the immediate theatres of conflict the domestic industries that had catered for the demands of an increasingly affluent and consuming population were orientated towards the needs of a war economy as plant, machinery, and labour shifted into war production.

  • Stylised Worlds: Colour Separation Overlay in BBC Television Plays of the 1970S
    Stylised Worlds: Colour Separation Overlay in BBC Television Plays of the 1970s Leah Panos Abstract This essay aims to understand and interrogate the use of Colour Separation Overlay (CSO) as a mode of experimental production and aesthetic innovation in television drama in the 1970s. It sets out to do this by describing, accounting for and evaluating CSO as a production technique, considering the role of key production personnel, and analysing four specific BBC productions. Deploying methodologies of archival research, practitioner interview, and close textual analysis, the essay also delivers a significant reassessment of the role of the producer and designer in the conceptualisation and realisation of small-screen dramatic fiction. Key words: studio, drama, single play, aesthetics, experimental, CSO, blue screen, designer The technique the BBC named Colour Separation Overlay (CSO), referred to as ‘Chromakey’ by ITV production companies and more commonly known as ‘blue screen’,1 was described by the author of a 1976 television writers’ training manual as ‘the biggest technological development in television in recent years’,2 and remains a principle underpinning contemporary special effects practice. This article will discuss the technique and identify some key figures within the TV industry who championed its use, whilst analysing a cycle of BBC dramas made during the 1970s and early 1980s that used CSO extensively. Although many programmes made during this period used this effect in some capacity, I will examine four aesthetically innovative, CSO-based BBC single plays which demonstrate two designers’ work with CSO: Eileen Diss designed the early CSO productions Candide (Play of the Month, TX: 16/02/73) and Alice Through the Looking Glass (TX: 25/12/73) and Stuart Walker subsequently developed a Critical Studies in Television, Volume 8, No.
