It analyses the relationship between the physical location of TV series production at Elstree Studios, UK, the representation of place in programmes, and the international trade in television fiction between the UK and USA. The TV series made at Elstree by the ITC and ABC companies and their affiliates linked Britishness with an international modernity associated with the USA, while also promoting national specificity. To do this, they drew on film production techniques that were already common for TV series production in Hollywood.

Welsh Government
Detailed Responses to the recommendations of the report, Voting Rights for Prisoners, are set out below: Recommendation 1 The Committee recommends that: The Welsh Government and National Assembly for Wales Commission introduce legislation to give all those Welsh prisoners who are serving custodial sentences of less than four years the right to vote in devolved Welsh elections. Mohammad Asghar and Mark Isherwood do not agree with this recommendation. Response: Accept The Welsh Government believes that enabling at least some prisoners to vote will send very strong and positive messages to prisoners that they still have a stake in society and, in turn, that they have responsibilities towards society as a whole. Enfranchisement based on sentence length will strike a reasonable balance; we agree that a custodial sentence of four years is an appropriate threshold, which acknowledges the nature, gravity and circumstances of the offending. Accordingly, the Welsh Government will work to introduce legislation in this Assembly to enable prisoners from Wales serving a custodial sentence of less than four years to vote in devolved local government elections. We shall work closely with the UK Government and partners to implement such legislation. We estimate that some 1,900 prisoners out of a total of about 4,800 prisoners from Wales would be enfranchised. The recommendation concerning Assembly elections is directed to the Llywydd and it would be for her, in the first instance, to respond in the context of the Senedd and Elections (Wales) Bill. Financial Implications – The financial implications of providing for prisoner voting will be addressed as part of the negotiations which will take place with the UK Government.

The Prisoner (1967) Screening and Panel a Revolution in Sixties British Television Design
THE PRISONER (1967) SCREENING AND PANEL A REVOLUTION IN SIXTIES BRITISH TELEVISION DESIGN PRESENTED BY THE ART DIRECTORS GUILD FILM SOCIETY AND THE AMERICAN CINEMATHEQUE Sunday, April 27 at 5:30 P.M. at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood Sponsored by The Hollywood Reporter LOS ANGELES, April 15, 2014 - The Art Directors Guild (ADG) Film Society and American Cinematheque kick off the 2014 ADG Film Series with a special screening of the celebrated British psychological thriller The Prisoner (1967), designed by Jack Shampan, on Sunday, April 27 at 5:30 P.M. at the Egyptian Theatre, sponsored by The Hollywood Reporter. It was in 1967 that Patrick McGoohan produced his masterpiece – The Prisoner. He created, directed and starred in the unique story of a spy who resigns, but is too dangerous to be set free – Ian Fleming meets Franz Kafka. The Prisoner demanded a very special world, much of it found in the otherworldly Portmeirion, a private city built of architectural relics on the coast of Wales. “It all began in 1960, with British TV's Dangerman – 30 minutes of gritty film noir,” said Production Designer John Muto, Founder and Co-chair of the ADG Film Series. “More detective than spy adventure, the program starred Patrick McGoohan, the charismatic actor who's said to have passed on the role of James Bond.” Dangerman, (re-titled Secret Agent in America), ran most of the decade. Meanwhile the first Bond feature, Dr. No, revolutionized the look of the spy film – in chic high style – inspiring shows from The Avengers to The Man From Uncle.

Zimbardo* Stanford University, USA This commentary offers a critical evaluation of the scientific legitimacy of research generated by television programming interests. It challenges the validity of claims advanced by these researchers regarding the Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE) and highlights the biases, fallacies and distortions in this study conducted for BBC-TV that attempted a partial replication of my earlier experiment. I have reluctantly accepted the editor’s invitation to prepare this commentary on my evaluation of Rethinking the psychology of tyranny: The BBC Prison Study, following my reviewer’s judgment of it as not acceptable for publication in any scientific journal. It is rarely productive to engage in such public debate without undermining the integrity of our discipline in the process. However, across their many publications, these authors have insisted on using the Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE) as their ‘straw situation’ to give visibility and conceptual legitimacy to their scientifically irresponsible ‘made-for-TV-study’. Thereby, they have forced me to counter their allegations in the BJSP, less to defend my research than to publicly

A Prison for Others--A Burden to Oneself
1 A Prison for Others—A Burden to One's Self Anne Collins Smith and Owen M. Smith published in The Dynamics of Interconnections in Popular Culture(s) edited by Ray Browne and Ben Urish, Cambridge Scholars Publishing, January 2014 Women have come a long way since the mid-1960's, both in the real world and in the world of philosophy. Given the advances in society and the developments within feminism that took place between that decade and the first decade of the 21st century, we might reasonably expect the new Prisoner series to present a more contemporary perspective on women than the original. Such is most emphatically not the case. If we compare the original Village to the new one, it looks as if those pennyfarthing wheels are spinning backwards instead of forwards. Where it all began—with Frankenstein's grandmother In the 1960's, the most prominent kind of feminist philosophy was liberal feminism. This kind of feminism has a long history, going back to the British philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797), whose name may seem familiar because her daughter, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, wrote the novel Frankenstein. At a time when middle-class women were confined to their household duties and had little opportunity to exercise their minds or develop their moral sense, Wollstonecraft made the devastatingly straightforward argument that women have the same capabilities as men to be rational and self-determined, and therefore deserve the same right to reach their full potential. She argued that if women were permitted to have education and autonomy, they would develop into intelligent people of good character.
