As In Life, So in Drama’: Covid, the NHS and the ‘Very Special’ Return of Casualty ”
In January 2021 the BBC continuing medical drama Casualty (1986-present) returned to UK television screens for the start of its thirty-fifth series, with the premiere serving as the first episode of the show to have been produced and broadcast since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic caused production to stop suddenly in March 2020. It was, in many ways, a “Very Special Episode,” and not least because it was the first new episode of the series to…

Resilience is a feminist issue: A response to Angela McRobbie’s Feminism and the Politics of Resilience in the context of Britain during the coronavirus pandemic
This article responds to Angela McRobbie’s latest book Feminism and the Politics of Resilience: Essays on Gender, Media and the End of Welfare (2020) which is a characteristically feminist, state-of-the-nation account of intersections of gender, media and culture in neoliberal Britain. It first situates the book in the context of McRobbie’s larger body of work in the field of feminist media and cultural studies, before then going on to address so…
Notes from lockdown: A series of reflections on some of the political and cultural impacts of the pandemic
A series of reflections on Covid-19 that looks at: how the pandemic affects processes of bordering and increases the indeterminate grey zones within which so many people are forced to live; the way nurses are presented in the media and the hypocrisy of praising them in a moment of crisis while simultaneously devaluing their work and underpaying them; health inequalities in Newham; the inequalities in the craft sector spotlighted by the pandemic; …

Friends Reconsidered: Cultural Politics, Intergenerationality, and Afterlives
With the passing in 2014 of the twentieth anniversary of its debut episode, the iconic millennial sitcom Friends retains a rare cultural currency and remains a crucial reference point for understanding the concerns of Generation X. This special issue, therefore, interrogates the contemporary and historical significance of Friends as a popular sitcom that reflected and obfuscated American fin de siècle anxieties at the time, and considers the last…
The One with the Feminist Critique: Revisiting Millennial Postfeminism with Friends
In the aftermath of its initial broadcast run, iconic millennial sitcom Friends (NBC, 1994–2004) generated some quality scholarship interrogating its politics of gender. But as a site of analysis, it remains a curious, almost structuring absence from the central canon of the first wave of feminist criticism of postfeminist culture. This absence is curious not only considering the place of Friends at the forefront of millennial popular culture but…

Intergenerational feminism and media: A roundtable
This is the edited text of a roundtable held at City University London, UK in November 2014, organised by Alison Winch and Jo Littler. The event aimed to pay attention to the ways in which age and generation shape mediated conversation about feminist politics: to problematise the dominant media representations of intergenerational “cat fights,” or feminist bickering, while simultaneously interrogating the ways in which mediated conflicts and conn…
Contemporary medical television and crisis in the NHS
This article maps the terrain of contemporary UK medical television (TV), paying particular attention to Call the Midwife as its centrepiece, and situating it in contextual relation to the current crisis in the National Health Service. It provides a historical overview of UK and US medical TV, illustrating how medical TV today has been shaped by noteworthy antecedents. It argues that crisis rhetoric surrounding healthcare leading up to the passin…

Don't let him take Britain back to the 1980s’: Ashes to Ashes as postfeminist recession television
This article interrogates postfeminism and recessionary discourse in the time-travel police series Ashes to Ashes (BBC, 2008–2010). Viewing the series as an early example of ‘recession television’, it explores how the resident gender discourse of postfeminism established in the pre-recession first series, and attendant cultural priorities, shifted over time in tandem with the onset of recession, following the 2008 global financial crisis, and in …

Hollywood's hot dads: Tabloid, Reality and Scandal Discourses of Celebrity Post-Feminist Fatherhood
This article offers post-feminism as a critical framework for understanding the phenomenon of celebrity fatherhood as it has been widely articulated through the channels of tabloid media, celebrity reality TV and the discourse of scandal. A heavily paternalised presence within the tabloid media has become increasingly central to the sustainability of a coherent public identity for innumerable male celebrities in contemporary media culture, includ…
