Abstract

Drawing on John Ellis's book "Visible Fictions" (1982), Nick Lacey sets up cinema and television in opposition. The comparison of the two is Lacey's starting point for an analysis of television today. The author critically evaluates Ellis's findings of 1982 and judges them against his own TV experience and a rapidly changing media environment 20 years later.
