Our cinema doors are still well and truly open, I’m pleased to say, the channel has been transmitting 24 hours a day 7 days a week on air with a number of premières for you all and orders have been posted out to you all every day as normal. It’s looking like a difficult few months ahead with lack of advertising on the channel, as you all know it’s the adverts that help us pay for the channel to be transmitted to you all for free and without them it’s very difficult. But we are confident we can get over the next few months. All we ask is that you keep on spreading the word about the channel in any way you can. Our audiences are strong with 4 million viewers per week , but it’s spreading the word that’s going to help us get over this. Can you believe it Talking Pictures TV is FIVE Years Old later this month?! There’s some very interesting selections in this months newsletter. Firstly, a terrific deal on The Humphrey Jennings Collections – one of Britain’s greatest filmmakers. I know lots of you have enjoyed the shorts from the Imperial War Museum archive that we have brought to Talking Pictures and a selection of these can be found on these DVD collections.

  • Tv Medical Dramas: Health Care As Soap Opera
    TV MEDICAL DRAMAS: HEALTH CARE AS SOAP OPERA LESLEY HENDERSON ‘Medicine is drama, doctors are human, and patients are trouble or troubled’.1 he medical drama occupies an extraordinary position in contemporary Ttelevision. The format attracts multiple awards (ER became the most nominated series in TV history, earning 122 Emmy nominations and 22 Awards) and breaks new ground in television aesthetics (St Elsewhere popularised pedeconferencing – the ‘walk and talk’ tracking shot to signify the supposedly frenetic pace of hospital life). The genre is economically important, too, as medical dramas consistently attract large audiences with ‘gold dust’ demographics for advertisers – the notoriously elusive 18-49 years. These programmes deliver high drama but also convey important messages about health and illness, often highlighting political issues which are neglected in television news and documentary formats. Thus the humanitarian crisis in the Darfur region of Sudan – underreported by the US news media – was brought to ER viewers through characters Dr John Carter and Dr Gregory Pratt, who were depicted working in a refugee camp trying to protect their patients from the Janjaweed militia (series 12, 2006). As these fictional scenes were being transmitted to global audiences, George Clooney – formerly ER’s Dr Doug Ross – spoke out at public rallies to stimulate support for American intervention in Darfur, thus blurring the lines between drama and the material world still further.2 Shows such as House MD are dissected in meticulous detail by fans and medical professionals on websites filled with endless analysis of the plausibility of plot and procedure.3 The medical drama is a commercial product that not only reflects our socio-cultural and economic environment but also illuminates wider changes in broadcasting culture.

  • 1 Contemporary Medical Television and Crisis in the NHS
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of East Anglia digital repository CST 11.2 | HAMAD | 1 Contemporary Medical Television and Crisis in the NHS Hannah Hamad University of East Anglia, UK Abstract This article maps the terrain of contemporary UK medical television, paying particular attention to Call the Midwife as its centrepiece, and situating it in contextual relation to the current crisis in the NHS. It provides a historical overview of UK and US medical television, illustrating how medical television today has been shaped by noteworthy antecedents. It argues that crisis rhetoric surrounding healthcare leading up to the passing of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 has been accompanied by a renaissance in medical television. And that issues, strands and clusters have emerged in forms, registers and modes with noticeable regularity, especially around the value of affective labour, the cultural politics of nostalgia and the neoliberalisation of healthcare. Keywords medical television; NHS; nurses; affective labour; nostalgia In a 2015 press release, the BBC announced, several weeks before the fifth series began in January 2016, that nursing and medical drama Call the Midwife [CTM] (2012-) would return for a sixth series in 2017 (BBC Media Centre 2015). This confidence was not misplaced. Since it began in 2012, CTM has regularly reached audiences of 10 million plus (BBC Media Centre 2015). While prestige medical television like CTM continues to draw huge audiences, junior doctors in the United CST 11.2 | HAMAD | 2 Kingdom are intermittently staging strikes in protest against new contracts being forced on them by the Tory government Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt that will change the terms and conditions of their employment within the National Health Service (NHS).

  • River Conservation Plan the Middle Youghiogheny River Corridor
    RIVER CONSERVATION PLAN THE MIDDLE YOUGHIOGHENY RIVER CORRIDOR EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This River Conservation Plan has been prepared by Paul C. Rizzo Associates under contract to the Chestnut Ridge Chapter of Trout Unlimited (CRTU). Preparation of the Plan has been funded by a River Conservation Planning Grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR). The formulation of the Plan has been directed by the CRTU Plan Steering Committee taking into account the data, thoughts, and ideas offered by the local municipalities and governmental agencies and citizens residing in the Corridor. The overall response to this planning effort has been excellent as all of the concerned and affected parties have a dedicated, sincere interest in protecting, promoting and improving the resources of the Corridor. The Somerset County Conservancy was responsible for securing the funding through the DCNR River Conservation Program. A portion of the funds granted to the Somerset County Conservancy was provided to the CRTU to facilitate preparing the Middle Youghiogheny River Corridor River Conservation Plan. The Somerset County Conservancy is dedicated to the preservation and conservation of the natural resources in Somerset County and the surrounding region. The Southern Alleghenies Conservancy is acting as the Grant Administrator for this project. The Middle Youghiogheny River, often referred to as the “Yough”, is a valuable environmental and economic national resource. The Yough is a high gradient river that flows from the Appalachian Mountains into southwestern Pennsylvania, eventually feeding into the Monongahela River at McKeesport, PA. The Yough lacks significant natural buffering capacity against the influence of acid mine drainage and other more common sources of pollution.

  • Who Is Sir Curtis Seretse?’: a Re-Evaluation of Black Representation in Sixties British Television
    95 ARTICLE ‘Who is Sir Curtis Seretse?’: A Re-evaluation of Black Representation in Sixties British Television DR. MICHAEL AHMED, University of East Anglia ABSTRACT This paper re-evaluates the significance of Sir Curtis Seretse, a black character from the 1960s television series Department S (ITV 1969-70) which has largely been ignored. While earlier critical and academic discourse of Department S has primarily centred on the flamboyant Jason King, the importance of Seretse’s character has been overlooked. Seretse, as the head of Department S, is in a position of authority and power over the other (white) characters of the show. Furthermore, he represents a highly educated character that converses on equal terms with Prime Ministers and Presidents, a unique representation of a black character on British television at that time. Seretse’s appearance on prime time television, at a period when black performers in the media were invariably confined to little more than token characters, is therefore worthy of further attention. This paper examines how Seretse represents a different type of black character not previously seen on British television, when compared to the representations of racial problems on other television crime dramas.
