A distribution map of Roman villas in Britain shows that they are very much concentrated south and east of a line from the Severn to the Humber. There are few in Devon and Cornwall (or, indeed, in the New Forest) and Yarford (no. 1 on the map) is at the western edge of the main distribution, fairly isolated from other villas. -

Media Reviews 311 the Madness of Bedlam: a Time Team Special, Channel 4 [UK], 1 December 2013, 9 Pm GMT in the October 2013 Issu
Media Reviews 311 doi:10.1017/mdh.2014.16 The Madness of Bedlam: A Time Team Special, Channel 4 [UK], 1 December 2013, 9 pm GMT In the October 2013 issue of Medical History, Heidi Knoblauch posed an important question:how should an historian subject a media item to peer-review?1 This replayed over and over in my mind while attempting to review The Madness of Bedlam, and I feel that I have arrived at an important suggestion with regard to documentaries. Reviewers must remove their metaphorical ‘anoraks’ as a matter of urgency. Documentaries are for the consumption of a wide audience, often with no particular interest or previous knowledge of the subject area. Watching a medical history documentary with the express intention of ‘rivet counting’ is therefore not helpful, as the story inevitably has to be edited and simplified in parts. There are of course exceptions to this rule – the re-writing of history with no factual basis for the purpose of entertainment and attempts of presenters to invoke negative opinions or emotions to meet their own ends should be criticised. We must not forget that some members of the public take what they see on television as gospel and I speak with some authority as a teaching assistant and historical interpreter, who has had to sift through the wreckage of BBC’s Blackadder. I therefore believe that documentaries should be reviewed on how they meet their aims, and their educational value in the non- specialist sphere. In autumn 2013, Channel 4 aired a few programmes that engaged with mental health issues and the history of psychiatry. -
ALEX LANGLANDS Archaeologist, Historian, Presenter Agent: Sophie Laurimore
ALEX LANGLANDS Archaeologist, Historian, Presenter Agent: Sophie Laurimore Alex has a passion for the past. He grew up around farming communities and rural life, nature and the countryside - and it has inspired his future. Alex turned this passion into his studies and subsequently his career. Alex has a degree in Medieval Archaeology and an MA in World Archaeology. His work has enabled him to travel extensively; up and down the British Isles - excavating prehistoric, roman and medieval sites - and across Europe including, Spain, France, Latvia, Bulgaria, Hungary and also Iceland. In 2009 he began studying for an Mphil/PhD in Early Medieval History at the University of Winchester. Alex has always been very keen to stress the importance of presenting the past, and it is here that his academic career has enabled his television career to excel. In 2005, Alex made Tales from the Green Valley with a team of fellow archaeologists and historians for BBC 2. They joined forces and ran a 17th century farm. Swiftly following this, in 2006, Alex and the team made A Tudor Feast at Christmas, also for BBC 2. Lion Television then won the commission from BBC 2 to make Victorian Farm. 6 x 1 hour programmes explored the world of rural Victorian England. Alex and the team, were accompanied by a cast of experts, as they lived life off the land as it would have been over 120 years ago. In the process of setting up, running the farm and making the programme Alex put a number of his other skills to the test...: working heavy horses, understanding crop rotations, ploughing, harrowing, sowing and harvesting - all essential to a successful year on a farm. -

History on Television
HISTORY ON TELEVISION ANN GRAY and ERIN BELL HISTORY ON TELEVISION In recent years non-fiction history programmes have flourished on television. This interdisciplinary study of history programming identifies and examines different genres employed by producers and tracks their commissioning, production, marketing and distribution histories. With comparative references to other European nations and North America, the authors focus on British history programming over the last two decades and analyse the relationship between the academy and media professionals. They outline and discuss often-competing discourses about how to ‘do’ history and the underlying assumptions about who watches history programmes. History on Television considers recent changes in the media landscape, which have affected to a great degree how history in general, and whose history in particular, appears onscreen. Through a number of case studies, using material from interviews by the authors with academic and media professionals, the role of the ‘professional’ historian and that of media professionals – commissioning editors and producer/directors – as mediators of historical material and interpretations is analysed, and the ways in which the ‘logics of television’ shape historical output are outlined and discussed. Building on their analysis, Ann Gray and Erin Bell ask if history on television fulfils its potential to be a form of public history through offering, as it does, a range of inter- pretations of the past originating from, or otherwise including, those not based in the academy. Through consideration of the representation, or absence, of the diversity of British identity – gender, ethnicity and race, social status and regional identities – the authors substantially extend the scope of existing scholarship into history on television. -
