Review

Praise for the first edition: 'A user friendly guide to critical issues for television scholars and students alike.' "- Nitin Govil, University of Virginia, USA" 'It is easy to use and gives a good overview of each concept for the uninitiated reader.' "- Jonathon Bignell, University of Reading, UK" 'Quite rapidly one realises that the concepts chosen are not only excellently defined but then discussed and applied. Thus, if bought in Y1 it will serve well.' - "K. J Sheperdson, Canterbury Christchurch University College, UK" --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
