Tony Garnett is the first book-length study of one of the most respected and prolific producers working in British television. From ground-breaking dramas from the 1960's such as "Up the Junction" and "Cathy Come Home" to the "must see" series in the 1990's and 2000's such as "This Life "and" The Cops," Garnett has produced some of the most important and influential British television drama.
This is the first book-length study of one of the most prolific producers working in British television, responsible for both Cathy Come Home (1966) and This Life (1996-8). The book discusses the ways in which Garnett has shaped the role of the creative producer, and analyses his contribution to a distinctively televisual social realism.
