About this product
Product Information
In November 2007, Channel 4 will be twenty-five years old. Today, such TV events as the 'Big Brother/Jade Goody Affair' have put the channel itself at the centre of public debate. Yet during its foundation years on British screens, Channel 4 was seen as more controversial and dangerous than this. Published for Channel 4's 25th anniversary, this book explores the channel's most important foundation period, under its inspirational first Chief Executive, Jeremy Isaacs. Charged by Parliament to be innovative, experimental, and educational, the new channel had to attract audiences and make a space for new voices. Did it fulfill its brief? It also assesses the legacy of the channel and asks: has it changed the nature of British television, and has the enfant terrible grown up, or is it still a youthful rebel?Dorothy Hobson had unique access to Channel 4 and the team involved in developing it, the ITV companies and fledgling independent producers over its foundation years. Accessibly written, her book uses the words and stories of those involved, and vividly reviews the new channel's successes, problems, adversities, as well as audiences' and press responses to television's new baby and its programmes.

"The book usefully brings together some of the key texts that mattered in the development of thinking about what the role of the new channel should be in a television landscape containing only BBC1 and 2 ITV… The shining light of this book is its grasp and passionate appreciation of the vision and inspiration of Jeremy Isaacs. Hobson exactly captures Isaac's extraordinary brand of cultural and political courage, his real some would say perverse appetite for the risk taking, his ability to spot talent in the most unlikely places, and to nurture it with infinite generosity." - Television, ""The book usefully brings together some of the key texts that mattered in the development of thinking about what the role of the new channel should be in a television landscape containing only BBC1 and 2 ITV… The shining light of this book is its grasp and passionate appreciation of the vision and inspiration of Jeremy Isaacs.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
