Independent Television Producers in England
Negotiating Dependence: Independent Television Producers in England Karl Rawstrone A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts and Creative Industries, University of the West of England, Bristol November 2020 77,900 words. Abstract The thesis analyses the independent television production sector focusing on the role of the producer. At its centre are four in-depth case studies which investigate the practices and contexts of the independent television producer in four different production cultures. The sample consists of a small self-owned company, a medium- sized family-owned company, a broadcaster-owned company and an independent- corporate partnership. The thesis contextualises these case studies through a history of four critical conjunctures in which the concept of ‘independence’ was debated and shifted in meaning, allowing the term to be operationalised to different ends. It gives particular attention to the birth of Channel 4 in 1982 and the subsequent rapid growth of an independent ‘sector’. Throughout, the thesis explores the tensions between the political, economic and social aims of independent television production and how these impact on the role of the producer. The thesis employs an empirical methodology to investigate the independent television producer’s role. It uses qualitative data, principally original interviews with both employers and employees in the four companies, to provide a nuanced and detailed analysis of the complexities of the producer’s role. Rather than independence, the thesis uses network analysis to argue that a television producer’s role is characterised by sets of negotiated dependencies, through which professional agency is exercised and professional identity constructed and performed. -
Aberdeen Report October 2019
Aberdeen Report October 2019 Max Thorne, Narup Chana, Thomas Domballe, Kat Stenson, Laura Harris, Bryony Hutchinson, and Vikkie Ware MRP GROUP 11-15 High 1Street, Marlow, SL7 1AU Contents Executive Summary 3 Aberdeen Profile 3 Economic Overview 4 Developments 6 Transport 8 Leisure Overview 9 Tourism 10 Annual Occupancy Room Yield Figures 11 Current Hospitality Market 11 The Team 12 2 Executive Summary Aberdeen has long been associated with the oil and gas industry; however, the city wants to develop new, more sustainable industries. More investment is being put into the life sciences and tech sectors, creating industries that will attract attention and bolster Aberdeen’s economy. Established sectors will also receive investment from schemes promoted by Aberdeen City Council, to grow Aberdeen into an area in the North East for business. Together this will ensure that Aberdeen’s economy becomes more productive and utilises the industries it currently has. Aberdeen Profile Aberdeen is a port city in the North East of Scotland and has long been known for its flourishing oil and gas industry. This has resulted in the city becoming the third most populated in Scotland with 196k people living in the city and 228k living in the council area. Known for its grey granite architecture, the city is home to two universities with the University of Aberdeen being the fifth oldest in the world. In 2018 it was found to be the best UK city to start a business, given the array of sectors and investment going into supporting new and existing companies. 3 Economic Overview Aberdeen’s economy has been dominated by the oil industry but has seen new sectors emerge due to the success from oil and gas. -

The Contemporary English Country House Novel After 2000
Resurgence and Renovation: The Contemporary English Country House Novel after 2000 Submitted for examination for the degree of Ph.D. in English Literature by Barbara Williams 080782814 School of English Literature, Language, and Linguistics Newcastle University August 2015 Abstract This thesis examines the resurgence of the English country house novel since 2000 as part of the growing popularity of the country house setting in contemporary British culture. In the context of economic recession, growing English nationalism, and a Conservative-led government accused of producing a ‘Downton Abbey-style society’, country house texts are often dismissed as nostalgic for a conservative social order. This study reclaims the English country house novel from this critical dismissal, stressing the genre’s political ambivalence. While readings of the country house resurgence are mostly played out through the media’s reaction to television programmes, my research provides a detailed and comparative examination of literary texts currently missing from the debate. I situate Ian McEwan’s Atonement (2001), Sally Beauman’s Rebecca’s Tale (2001), Toby Litt’s Finding Myself (2003), Wesley Stace’s Misfortune (2005), Diane Setterfield’s The Thirteenth Tale (2006), Sarah Waters’s The Little Stranger (2009), and Alan Hollinghurst’s The Stranger’s Child (2011) within a wider body of discourse on the country house, exploring the contemporary relevance and cultural value of the setting. It is my contention that the English country house novel self-consciously negotiates its growing popularity in contemporary culture. In chapter one, I argue that the recent shift from material to textual inheritance in the genre is a way of reclaiming voices traditionally excluded from the canonical house of fiction. -
