  • 2 a Quotation of Normality – the Family Myth 3 'C'mon Mum, Monday
    Notes 2 A Quotation of Normality – The Family Myth 1 . A less obvious antecedent that The Simpsons benefitted directly and indirectly from was Hanna-Barbera’s Wait ‘til Your Father Gets Home (NBC 1972–1974). This was an attempt to exploit the ratings successes of Norman Lear’s stable of grittier 1970s’ US sitcoms, but as a stepping stone it is entirely noteworthy through its prioritisation of the suburban narrative over the fantastical (i.e., shows like The Flintstones , The Jetsons et al.). 2 . Nelvana was renowned for producing well-regarded production-line chil- dren’s animation throughout the 1980s. It was extended from the 1960s studio Laff-Arts, and formed in 1971 by Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive Smith. Its success was built on a portfolio of highly commercial TV animated work that did not conform to a ‘house-style’ and allowed for more creative practice in television and feature projects (Mazurkewich, 1999, pp. 104–115). 3 . The NBC US version recast Feeble with the voice of The Simpsons regular Hank Azaria, and the emphasis shifted to an American living in England. The show was pulled off the schedules after only three episodes for failing to connect with audiences (Bermam, 1999, para 3). 4 . Aardman’s Lab Animals (2002), planned originally for ITV, sought to make an ironic juxtaposition between the mistreatment of animals as material for scientific experiment and the direct commentary from the animals them- selves, which defines the show. It was quickly assessed as unsuitable for the family slot that it was intended for (Lane, 2003 p.

Ffynhonnell 2: Gŵr a gwraig yn y gegin yn yr 1950au Rôl menywod yn y cartref1 Y rôl draddodiadol ar gyfer menywod oedd bod yn wraig ac yn fam dda – cadw’r tŷ yn lân a gwneud yn siŵr bod y plant a’r gŵr yn cael eu bwydo. Roedd hyn yn dal yn wir yn yr 1960au cynnar, yn enwedig ymysg menywod dosbarth gwaith. Roedd disgwyl i fenywod roi’r gorau i’w gwaith a’u hannibyniaeth bersonol ar ôl priodi neu ar ôl geni eu plentyn cyntaf. Yn ôl cylchgrawn Woman’s Own yn 1961, ‘y peth pwysicaf maen nhw’n gallu ei wneud mewn bywyd yw bod yn wragedd ac yn famau’.2 Cafodd cyfres ‘Janet and John’, sef llyfrau darllen cynnar i blant, eu cyhoeddi ym Mhrydain am y tro cyntaf yn 1949, ac roedd y llyfrau’n atgyfnerthu rôl draddodiadol menywod. Roedd Janet bob amser yn helpu mam â’r gwaith tŷ, ac roedd John yn glanhau’r car neu’n adeiladu coelcerthi gyda dad. Roedd dad yn mynd i’r gwaith a mam yn aros gartref; roedd mam bob amser yn gwisgo’n ddel a dad bob amser yn gwerthfawrogi tŷ glân a phryd o fwyd ar y bwrdd.

  • 'Family' in BBC Pre-School Television Abstract
    ‘Surely the most natural scenario in the world’: Representations of ‘Family’ in BBC Pre-school Television Abstract: Historically, the majority of work on British children’s television has adopted either an institutional or an audience focus, with the texts themselves often overlooked. This neglect has meant that questions of representation in British children’s television – including issues such as family, gender, class or ethnicity - have been infrequently analysed in the UK context. In this article, we adopt a primarily qualitative methodology and analyse the various textual manifestations of ‘family’, group, or community as represented in a selected number of BBC pre-school programmes. In doing so, we question the (limited amount of) international work that has examined representations of the family in children’s television, and argue that nuclear family structures do not predominate in this sphere. Keywords: Family * Community * Pre-school television * CBeebies * BBC * Gender 1 In 2009, Daily Mail journalist Laura Kemp discussed watching CBeebies with her young son, and she was vocal about the fact that she didn’t like what she saw: The message is clear: nursery is normal, fun and nothing to be scared of. But as a stay-at-home mum, I feel undermined, undervalued and angry. Not a single programme in the channel's repertoire is set at home with a mother - which is surely the most natural scenario in the world… But why am I left out - the woman who chooses to care for her own child? In its paranoid desperation to embrace every minority group, [she notes the apparent ethnic diversity of the channel] the BBC has overlooked the traditional family (Kemp 2009).

Lesnik-Oberstein (ed.), Children in Culture, Revisited: Further Approaches to Childhood (Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan 2011), pp. 167-185.

My published work is listed and more PDFs can be downloaded at http://www.reading.ac.uk/ftt/about/staff/j-bignell.aspx. Jonathan Bignell Television for children: problems of national specificity and globalisation In the developed nations of Europe, and in the USA, it has long been assumed that television should address children. Thus, notions of what ‘children’ are have been constructed, and children are routinely discussed as an audience category and as a market for programmes. A fundamental set of conceptions of childhood, originating in the late eighteenth century, links the unstated ideological assumptions of the great majority of programme producers, television programme buyers and executives, and parents, politicians and commentators.1 In this respect, the chapter’s focus on the construction of childhood in television has many links with the other chapters in this book. For adults’ assumptions about childhood also inform literature that constructs children as textual subjects and addressees. Childhood has been seen as a life-stage in which emergent subjectivities are predisposed to immorality or amorality, and irrational behaviour, so that adult supervision of children’s development is required. Conversely, the child is also understood as innocent, authentic and pure.

It was early evening (about half past six) : Of alcohol, he’d no doubt had a sizeable fix. A battered blue bicycle, he wheeled by his side – That battered blue bicycle, I prayed he’d not ride. Upon a wooden bench, he sat himself down, Then, from out of his mouth, came a terrible sound. I guessed that the sound was supposed to be a song, But the words were all garbled and the tune all wrong. His musical accompaniment was his bicycle bell – What song he sang, I was quite unable to tell. I doubted he’d be on The X-Factor anytime soon, As he sat on his bench beneath a crescent-shaped moon. On the opposite side of the road, I very sensibly stayed, But a smile graced my lips as I went on my way.
