Recenzii
Once a national treasure, writer and performer Mabel Constanduros has been forgotten, like so many other pioneering women. Purcell does so much more than merely recover Constanduros as a household name, she uncovers and revises BBC broadcasting history, identifying the source of situation comedy and its place in the BBC's bid for the hearts and minds of British households. Purcell uses personal and corporation archives to reveal the sometimes surprising role of women like Constanduros in realising the BBC's ambition. This book is for anyone interested in the birth of the entertainment industry, women's histories and the power of the broadcast medium. Purcell's engaging narrative will appeal to everyone interested in public histories but it is the richness and depth of her meticulous research that makes this book a must for a better understanding of British culture in the mid-twentieth-century.
