  • Season 5 Article
    N.B. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE READER USE 2-PAGE VIEW (BOOK FORMAT WITH SCROLLING ENABLED) IN ACROBAT READER OR BROWSER. “EVEN’ING IT OUT – A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THE LAST TWO YEARS OF “THE TWILIGHT ZONE” Television Series (minus ‘THE’)” A Study in Three Parts by Andrew Ramage © 2019, The Twilight Zone Museum. All rights reserved. Preface With some hesitation at CBS, Cayuga Productions continued Twilight Zone for what would be its last season, with a thirty-six episode pipeline – a larger count than had been seen since its first year. Producer Bert Granet, who began producing in the previous season, was soon replaced by William Froug as he moved on to other projects. The fifth season has always been considered the weakest and, as one reviewer stated, “undisputably the worst.” Harsh criticism. The lopsidedness of Seasons 4 and 5 – with a smattering of episodes that egregiously deviated from the TZ mold, made for a series much-changed from the one everyone had come to know. A possible reason for this was an abundance of rather disdainful or at least less-likeable characters. Most were simply too hard to warm up to, or at the very least, identify with. But it wasn’t just TZ that was changing. Television was no longer as new a medium. “It was a period of great ferment,” said George Clayton Johnson. By 1963, the idyllic world of the 1950s was disappearing by the day. More grittily realistic and reality-based TV shows were imminent, as per the viewing audience’s demand and it was only a matter of time before the curtain came down on the kinds of shows everyone grew to love in the 50s.

  • Legitimacy and the Celebrity Single-Issue Candidate
    Legitimacy and the celebrity single-issue candidate While news coverage of General Elections can be argued to ‘crowd out’ other topics of public interest in the public sphere, some saw the election as an opportunity to attract publicity to a cause. The artist Bob and Roberta Smith stood in Michael Gove’s Surrey Heath constituency in protest at the coalition’s changes to the education curriculum downgrading the importance of art, while the comedian Al Murray’s ‘Pub Landlord’ candidacy in South Thanet was presented, perhaps more ambiguously, as a satirical criticism of fellow candidate Nigel Farage (the initials of Murray’s ‘Free United Kingdom Party’ (FUKP) illustrating the blunt nature of any ironical intent). Murray’s manifesto pledged to brick up the channel tunnel using British bricks and Polish workers; Smith’s platform was built around placing art at the centre of the curriculum. Towards the end of the campaign, and notwithstanding the final outcome, legitimacy - in the sense of the various potential parliamentary combinations of the main parties - became a key media topic. To what extent was the legitimacy of candidates such as Murray and Smith questioned? Mainstream media coverage of Smith was limited, but some supportive niche media emphasised his artist-activist credentials. This is perhaps partly due to the ‘safe’ seat he was contesting, which was never likely to change hands; he could not be argued to be disrupting ‘legitimate’ electoral politics. The campaign was also constructed around a positive, niche single issue - the importance of art education both culturally and in economic terms - which could be treated by other candidates and the media as a legitimate (but marginal) topic.

  • Talkin' 'Bout a Revolution
    1 Overview of talk We are not doing a comedy sketch we are doing a talk about politics which revolves around comedians Why are comedians like Brand & Grillo (or Dieudonné) capturing a political mood, in a way that pop stars would have done years ago? 2 Dieudonné Anelka doing the quenelle 3 The context, the background to our talk, is crisis. Or rather crises (plural). We currently face a set of intersecting crises. These include: 4 Economic crisis. Starting with the fi nancial crisis of 2007/08, which has generalised into a more or less global economic crisis – so-called Great Recession. Widening inequality: the top 1% increasingly living like sun gods, whilst for a rising proportion of the rest of us what Ed Miliband has been calling “the cost of living crisis” and what others have described as a crisis of social reproduction. That is, a crisis in our abilities to meet our need, to survive, and, increasingly, a crisis in our ability to imagine a better future, to hope. 5 Climate crisis 6 Energy crisis – these are the Alberta tar sands 7 Finally, there exists a crisis of political legitimacy, even a crisis of democracy. Plebgate is actually a rather minor chapter in this story. (No duck ponds or subscriptions to porn channels paid for by the taxpayer. No deaths in police custody or undercover offi cers fathering children by the women they’re spying on. No hacking into the phones of murdered school girls.) But what’s interesting about it is that it involves three major institutions or sets of actors: politicians, police and the Fourth Estate, the media.
