  • 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.

McCoy stages a one-man rescue attempt and is captured, but Lilly escapes. Colonel Clayborne. I guess they did a small amount of that, but not enough for my tastes. Top Box Office.

    RELEASED Thursday October 22, 2015 ABC2 TO SCREEN UK SMASH HIT SHOW – TFI FRIDAY ABC2 adds the cult classic UK series TFI FRIDAY to its massive line-up of Thursday night entertainment. (YES on Thursday, not Friday.) The UK has recently welcomed the return of THE iconic 90’s entertainment show, that shocked and delighted a nation, for a new ten-episode run. Starting tonight, and screening each Thursday at 9.15pm on ABC2 (just six days after the episode airs in the UK), TFI FRIDAY will feature the biggest names in showbiz, who pop in to perform a song or to have a chat with host Chris Evans, or for something else completely bonkers. During the ‘90’s (and again this year for a 90 minute reunion special) TFI FRIDAY was a seminal UK TV institution that kicked down the doors to the weekend. It was fresh, raucous, rowdy and relentlessly inventive. Filmed in a bar in front of a fun and frisky audience, host Chris Evans (soon to be the new front man for TOP GEAR) presided over a freewheeling mix of live music, comedy sketches, daft games, celebrity interviews and a host of well loved catchphrases. TFI FRIDAY changed the face of UK television and revolutionised modern chat and entertainment shows. EP1: THURSDAY OCTOBER 22, 9.15pm Guests include super group U2, British pop legends Take That, actor Steve Coogan, band Slaves and actress Saoirse Ronan. EP2: THURSDAY OCTOBER 29, 9.15pm Guests include singer Justin Bieber, actor Dawn French, hip hop stars Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, X-Men: Apocalypse actor Nicholas Hoult and synthpop duo - Hurts.

  • Queer Television Thesis FINAL DRAFT Amended Date and Footnotes
    Queer British Television: Policy and Practice, 1997-2007 Natalie Edwards PhD thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham School of American and Canadian Studies, January 2010 Abstract Representations of gay, lesbian, queer and other non-heterosexualities on British terrestrial television have increased exponentially since the mid 1990s. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer characters now routinely populate mainstream series, while programmes like Queer as Folk (1999-2000), Tipping the Velvet (2002), Torchwood (2006-) and Bad Girls (1999-2006) have foregrounded specifically gay and lesbian themes. This increase correlates to a number of gay-friendly changes in UK social policy pertaining to sexual behaviour and identity, changes precipitated by the election of Tony Blair’s Labour government in 1997. Focusing primarily on the decade following Blair’s installation as Prime Minister, this project examines a variety of gay, lesbian and queer-themed British television programmes in the context of their political, cultural and industrial determinants, with the goal of bridging the gap between the cultural product and the institutional factors which precipitated its creation. Ultimately, it aims to establish how and why this increase in LGBT and queer programming occurred when it did by relating it to the broader, government-sanctioned integration of gays, lesbians and queers into the imagined cultural mainstream of the UK. Unlike previous studies of lesbian, gay and queer film and television, which have tended to draw conclusions about cultural trends purely through textual analysis, this project uses government and broadcasting industry policy documents as well as detailed examination of specific television programmes to substantiate links between the cultural product and the wider world.
