Reviews
“McElroy and Noonan offer an eloquent and persuasive defence of PSB. … This is a timely, well-argued analysis of the ecology of contemporary television that, in exploring and championing the ‘local’ in drama production, has much to add to current debates.” (Stephen Lacey, Critical Studies in Television, Vol. 15 (2), 2020)
