In recent years non-fiction history programmes have flourished on television. This
interdisciplinary study of history programming identifies and examines different genres
employed by producers and tracks their commissioning, production, marketing and distribution
histories. With comparative references to other European nations and North America,
the authors focus on British history programming over the last two decades and analyse
the relationship between the academy and media professionals. They outline and discuss
often-competing discourses about how to 'do' history and the underlying assumptions
about who watches history programmes. History on Television considers recent changes
in the media landscape, which have affected to a great degree how history in general,
and whose history in particular, appears onscreen. Through a number of case studies,
using material from interviews by the authors with academic and media professionals,
the role of the 'professional' historian and that of media professionals - commissioning
editors and producer/directors - as mediators of historical material and interpretations
is analysed, and the ways in which the 'logics of television' shape historical output
are outlined and discussed. Building on their analysis, Ann Gray and Erin Bell ask
if history on television fulfils its potential to be a form of public history through
offering, as it does, a range of interpretations of the past to and originating from
or including those not based in the academy. Through consideration of the representation,
or absence, of the diversity of British identity - gender, ethnicity and race, social
status and regional identities - the authors substantially extend the scope of existing
scholarship into history on television History on Television will be essential reading
for all those interested in the complex processes involved in the representation of
history on television
