註釋
  • This book considers some of the most popular and critically-regarded TV programmes that address the post-9/11 world.
  • It is distinctive in a crowded field in considering television (rather than cinema), drama (rather than news and current affairs), and UK as well as US programmes.
  • Individual chapters include close analysis of particular programmes and/or series, complemented by historical, media and academic contextualisation.
  • The collection opens with an extensive consideration of the contemporary significance of docudrama, one of the most contentious and influential of TV drama formats, by the leading academic expert on the genre, Dr Derek Paget.
  • Peter Kosminsky, a filmmaker and docudramatist with an international reputation, has been interviewed for the book, and an edited transcript of that interview provides its conclusion.
  • The volume covers programmes and genres that are not normally considered in relation to the ‘war on terror’, such as comedy, and topics that offer a distinctive and unsusual focus on the issues, such as representations of Tony Blair in drama and docudrama.
