Time on TV
I.B. Tauris (Verlag)
978-1-78453-013-6 (ISBN)
From early examples such as Star Trek and Sapphire and Steel to more contemporary shows including Life on Mars and The Vampire Diaries, time has frequently been used as a device to allow programme makers to experiment stylistically and challenge established ways of thinking. Time on TV provides a range of exciting, accessible, yet intellectually rigorous essays that consider the many and varied ways in which telefantasy shows have explored this subject, providing the reader with a greater understanding of the importance of time to the success of genre on the small screen.
Lorna Jowett is Reader in Television Studies at the University of Northampton, UK. Kevin Lee Robinson is Lecturer in Scriptwriting for TV and Film, University of Northampton, UK. David Simmons is Lecturer in English and Film and TV, University of Northampton, UK.
