The British TV project
The TV section of this blog is very thin, mainly becuase I don't watch much, over the next few weeks though I want to look to change that.
It's very easy to sit here and say TV was better in my day, but was it? or is this just an illusion? I am fortunate to have a few days off over the next couple of weeks, so I want to look at modern TV in every aspect. How does it compare? I want to look at the chedules and how they have changed, or not. What does the age of multi-channels really bring to television, as against the days where four channels were all that was available. Does the internet change the way TV, particularly news and current affairs programmes operate?
What about day time TV, is there really a 'Jeremy Kyle' generation, if so what does it mean? What about childrens TV? Is it really in decline as many state, or is that just a rose tinted view of the world? What about the Friday night and Saturday night schedules? Do they match up to the fare we got many years ago, are they better? or not?
Over the next few weeks I want to try and answer as many of these questions as possible, the Moon of Liberty is putting TV under the spotlight. I hope to uncover a few gems, let's hope they are out there.
