- Summary:
- British Youth Television is the first book to concentrate on the high profile genre of "yoof television." Concentrating on such controversial programs as The Word, Snub TV and Don't Forget Your Toothbrush, the author demonstrates how the contemporary youth audience--the so-called Generation X--were addressed by these shows' blend of "cynicism and enchantment." Providing both an overview and a series of detailed program analyses the book concentrates on a well-known but little written about genre from a fresh and accessible perspective.
