About this book
In this book, Faye Woods explores the raucous, cheeky, intimate voice of British youth television. This is the first study of a complete television system targeting teens and twenty somethings, chronicling a period of significant industrial change in the early 21st century. British Youth Television offers a snapshot of the complexities of contemporary television from a British standpoint — youth-focused programming that blossomed in the commercial expansion of the digital era, yet indelibly shaped by public service broadcasting, and now finding its feet on proliferating platforms. Considering BBC Three, My Mad Fat Diary, The Inbetweeners, Our War and Made in Chelsea, amongst others; Woods identifies a television that is defiantly British, yet also has a complex transatlantic relationship with US teen TV. This book creates a space for British voices in an academic and cultural landscape dominated by the American teenager.
Reviews
“In British Youth Television: Transnational Teens, Industry, Genre, Faye Woods weaves together incisive close televisual readings with insightful considerations of larger industrial and transcultural contexts. Woods’ sustained merger of aesthetic, ideological, cultural, and industrial analyses provides a vital contribution to the field of youth media studies.” (Louisa Ellen Stein, Middlebury College)
