Jump To Comment: 4 3 2 1Anyone catch The Rise and Fall of......Radical TV Drama

Slightly sective quoting there, there are alot of crap programmes, some v.good ones, and then there are uncovered gaps...

Are these guidelines available online or elsewhere? I'll be teaching a course on television drama in the autumn and it would be great to cite this as proof of our national broadcaster's commitment to "cutting edge" drama.
I haven't had a t.v. for a while now and it's great. This type of article confirms to me that I've made a good decision. There are so many things I can do every evening instead of watching T.V.: water the vegetable plot, listen to music, sew buttons on my shirts, bake scones, walk with glass to the bottle banks, write postcards to my friends, clear out the clutter under my bed.... Besides avoiding programmes on property and the other topics mentioned in the article I also avoid all the ads. I would encourage anyone who is thinking about it to give away their T.V. or not buy one in the first place.
