Stephen Lambert tells in detail the story of the political infighting, the fierce debates over broadcasting philosophies and lobbying by special interest groups which preceded the establishment of the Channel Four Television Company. He explains exactly what is different about the new service, how it is organised and financed, and what the aims and objectives are of those who are running it and those who are making the programmes." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references and index; Used to exist as accession number: 250.

UK ; CHANNEL FOUR ; FILM ; FILMS SHOWN ON TV ; TELEVISION Summary: "Channel 4 Television went on air on 2 November 1982.

This book is the first comprehensive survey of this major and highly influential initiative. John Pym describes and assesses every one of the 136 features commissioned and transmitted by Channel 4 in its 'Film on Four' slot between 1982 and 1991. Among the film-makers aided by Channel 4 have been Peter Greenaway, James Ivory, Terence Davies, Colin Gregg and Stephen Frears. Film on Four's successes have included Walter; Paris; Texas; My Beautiful Laundrette; Distant Voices; Still Lives and Another Time, Another Place. In addition to an historical chrononlogy of the 1980s, FILM ON FOUR contains his technical credits, cast lists, budgets and viewing figures of all 136 films - much of which primary information is published or the first time." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Used to be on system as Accession Number 3222.

UK ; RADIO BROADCASTING Summary: "Stuart Hood, who was to become Editor of Television News, BBC, and subsequently Controller of Programmes at the BBC and then at Rediffusion Television, began his career as a humble sub-editor on the European Service of the BBC: he came up from the lower rungs of the ladder to the top, and he is therefore able to describe the process of putting a programme on the air from his own wide and practical experience. He enables us to see the kind of decisions and action that have to be taken from the moment an idea is conceived to the time of transmission and the results of the occasional aftermath of criticism. He is now a Professor of Film and Television at the Royal College of Art and is able to review the organisations of BBC and commercial broadcasting in a dispassionate way, without fear or favour. He never allows us to forget that broacasting is created by people for people and as a result the excitement of the preparations and the eventual transmission is always present. Professor Hood is an enthusiast with strong views on how this most important of communications should be used and he stimulates ideas, as well as providing the information that will remove any mystery from the business of broadcasting, be it for the listener and viewer or those who may be considering it as a career" -- BOOK JACKETNotes: Includes index; Bibliography: p. 137-138ISBN: 0715368907Contents: -- introduction -- one: the great pyramids: BBC and ITV -- two: news: the heart of the operation -- three: talks, features, and documentaries -- four: the documentary: illusion and reality -- five: the theatre in the box -- six: comedians and entertainers -- seven: sports and spectacles -- eight: sending the signal on its way -- nine: planning the schedule -- ten: satisfactions and conditions of the job -- eleven: articulate within limits -- appendix -- bibliography -- index --
