Valuing Architecture
In this paper we examine how architecture has been mediated and framed by two television documentary series: Civilisation: A Personal View by Kenneth Clark (1969) and Grand Designs (1999-present). Both are examples of authored documentary', and both also attempt the education of public taste: in Civilisation through the structured admiration of great civic buildings framed as monumental art, and in Grand Designs through desirable domestic buildin…
Global Nature, Global Brand
Landmark wildlife series like Life on Earth (1979), Planet Earth (2006) and Frozen Planet (2011) are synonymous with the BBC, and are largely seen as unquestioned embodiments of its public service values. Yet the landmark format for wildlife programming was designed from its outset to appeal to international television markets, particularly the US market. This article examines the history and evolution of David Attenborough's landmark series, tra…
The Wildlife Docusoap
This article explores the ethical implications of the rise of a new style of personality presenter-led wildlife programming in the 1990s, reliant, in part, on digital video and aimed at creating a sense of “liveness.” It takes the BBC series Big Cat Diary (1996) as its focus, looking at how the BBC responded to increased market pressure by creating the first wildlife docusoap. Despite the lightweight connotations of the docusoap format, this seri…
Digitising Dinosaurs
This article reflects on the intersection of science, art and technology in the construction of the televisual dinosaur. In particular, it is concerned with the class of digital dinosaurs hatched in Jurassic Park (1993) and The Lost World (1997), powered by the latest digital technologies for the reinscription of the filmic and televisual image, and recently grafted to that most domestic of media genres, the animal documentary. Focusing on the BB…
Taking the Piss
In a factional and pluralistic society, art that works in opposition to political correctness is increasingly prone to public controversy and intolerance. This paper examines Andres Serrano's notorious Piss Christ and Mambo's provocative clothing range, Spiritual Adventurewear, as a means of considering the relation between discourses on satire and value and the politics of offence and transgression
