Stepping into Who I Fully Am
Research suggests that perimenopause can compound existing struggles for some Autistic people, with potentially catastrophic consequences. Barriers to self-expression due to communication differences are also well-documented. Acknowledging this, our neurodiverse research team invited creative submissions themed around Autistic experiences of menopause, receiving works from six Autistic participants including paintings, poetry, and graphic works. …

‘Welcome to my world’
OBJECTIVES: We explore the experiences of people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (pwME/CFS) during the first UK COVID-19 lockdown period. We specifically probe perceived commonalities and departures in experience between government- and health-imposed lockdowns, application of coping strategies for social isolation, and predictions for inclusion of the chronically ill in post-pandemic society. METHODS AND MEASURES: Thirty …
Autistic Traits of People Who Engage in Pup Play
Pup play is a kink or BDSM activity and subculture that provides opportunities for social and sexual play and exploration. While growing scholarly attention has focused on the diverse dynamics of pup play cultures, and reasons for participation within them, no research has considered how pup play may be attractive for neurodivergent people. This study sample consisted of 413 pup play practitioners from an international internet survey to examine …
Memory, Nostalgia and the Material Heritage of Children’s Television in the Museum
‘The Story of Children’s Television, from 1946 to Now’ was an exhibition co-conceived by the authors and colleagues from the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum in Coventry, UK, running from 2015 to 2017 through a national tour. At the exhibition, objects from children’s television history sat alongside screens showing the programmes to visitors. Our research explores how children’s television culture operates as a site of memory and nostalgia, throug…
Introduction
In this introductory essay, the editors of this special issue of Critical Studies in Television explore the existing ways in which scholars have considered afternoon television, present data which demonstrates the historical distribution of and shifts in the genres of afternoon, and make a case for the contribution to the field offered by this collection of new essays. In the process, we call for an interrogation of commonly held assumptions abou…
‘It's a Wild Country. Wild … Passionate … Strange’
The BBC television adaptations of Winston Graham's Poldark novels (1975, 1977) were an enormous popular success, drawing large Sunday evening audiences and much coverage in the popular press. The series remains close to the hearts of its viewers, prompting relocations to ‘wild, romantic’ Cornwall in the south-west of England, where the novels and television series were set and filmed, and even Poldark-themed weddings. Poldark has also been used i…
Researching the History of Television for Women in Britain, 1947–1989
This report details the aims, methodology and selected findings of the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)-funded project ‘A History of Television for Women in Britain, 1947–1989’, running between 2010 and 2013 at the University of Warwick and De Montfort University. Here, we consider the difficulties of conducting historical television research and the ways in which we have tried to use a method which is attentive to production research,…
Women at the edge
In this article, I explore the particular liminality of the Cornish coast and its representation in film and television through the figure of the woman at the cliff edge. This figure has been significant in representations of Cornwall, Britain's most south-westerly territory, across painting, literature, film and television since the beginning of the twentieth century, and has operated as a trope through which anxieties around identity and social…
Introduction
This Screen dossier brings together contributions from a number of scholars, who reflect here on the question of ‘television for women’. We imagined this dossier as a way to broaden, internationalize and challenge the agenda of our AHRC-funded project ‘A History of Television for Women in Britain, 1947–1989’ (Warwick and De Montfort Universities), by asking about the significance of television programming that is or was addressed specifically to …

Trousers and Tiaras
Audrey Hepburn is one of cinema's most stylish and enduring icons, and has embodied an ideal of femininity for generations of women. Using textual analysis, archival research and audience accounts of 'Doing the Hepburn Look', I argue that Audrey Hepburn, as a star clearly addressing a female audience, offered a flexible image which was enabling to young women through dress in relation to exigencies of gender, class and national identity. The pape…
Respectability sewn up
This article draws on a qualitative study of six interviews with British women, focused around film star fashions and home dressmaking in the 1950s and 1960s. It is concerned with rethinking existing accounts of the female spectator within film studies, and approaching spectatorship as a socially and historically embedded activity which extends to practices outside the cinema. Drawing on Beverley Skeggs’s use of Bourdieu’s concept of cultural cap…
Factual entertainment on British television
This article reports on a collective project by the Midlands Television Research Group into the changing character of weekday evening programming in the 1990s on British terrestrial television between 8.00 and 9.00. Over the decade, there has been a growth in ‘factual entertainment’ and a decrease in analytic documentary, situation comedy and variety. Factual entertainment comprises hybrid genres such as ‘docu-soaps’, CCTV footage-based programme…
