[TV] (AT, 1966-1968); NINE NETWORK; POWER WITHOUT GLORY [TV] (AT, 1976); SEVEN NETWORK; SPECIAL BROADCASTING SERVICE; YELDHAM, PETER Summary: Television drama has been the dominant form of popular storytelling for more than sixty years, shaping the imaginations of millions of people. This book surveys the careers of the central creators of those stories for Australian television—the writers who learnt how to work in a new medium, adapting to its constraints and exploring its creative possibilities. Informed by interviews with many writers, it describes the establishment of Australian television drama production, observing the way writers grasped the creative and business opportunities that television presented. It examines the development of Australian versions of the major television genres—the sitcom, the police drama, the historical series, docudrama, and social drama— presenting a ‘canon’ of significant Australian television drama productions that deserve to be remembered. It offers an account of the emergence of work by Indigenous writers for television and it argues for the consideration of television drama alongside histories of Australian film and stage drama. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781925984880 More info

It also calls for new public debate around the provision of high-quality screen content for children, arguing that the creation of public value must sit at the centre of these discussions. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781783204410 Contents: Introduction -- Chapter 1: Understanding Children’s Television During the Digital Transition -- Chapter 2: Shaping the Foundations: Establishing an Australian Children’s Television Production Industry -- Chapter 3: A Very Special Audience: Children and Television -- Chapter 4: The National Context: Australian Broadcasters, Children’s Television and Public Value -- Chapter 5: It’s a Small World After All: The Internationalization of Australian Children’s Television -- Chapter 6: Policing the Settlement: Policy and Public Value in Children’s Television -- Chapter 7: Producing Children’s Television for Digital Regimes: Case Studies from the Production Sector -- Chapter 8: New Settlements in Children’s Television: Key Trends and Future Outlook -- References -- Index More info

Walker's previous volumes, HOLLYWOOD ENGLAND and NATIONAL HEROES, covered the period until 1984. This final volume tells the inside story right up to date of why a nation that produces actors of the calibre of Kenneth Branagh, Daniel Day-Lewis, Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Robert Carlyle, Kate Winslet and directors such as Anthony Minghella, Sam Mendes, Stephen Frears, Neil Jordan, Peter Greenaway, Ken Loach and Guy Ritchie cannot sustain a native film industry. Walker's revelations on the iniquities of National Lottery funding of movies - over £200m to date and hardly a profitable film among those so far produced - have been headline news. Walker relates the extraordinary events of the past two decades years through the individuals, the companies and the studios." -- from book jacket (abridged) Notes: Includes introduction by Joseph Connelly, includes preface and index ISBN: 0752856103 Donation: Bruce Hodsdon Contents: Before the title: The Chinese butterfly -- 1.
