Rezensionen

' American Television on British Screens offers a breadth of points of investigation, highlighting the many processes involved that shape the meanings of US imports in Britain. It provides valuable overviews of the existing literature and good points of departure to investigate, in more detail, how American programmes are incorporated into British television culture.' - Elke Weissmann, Critical Studies in Television
