British Youth Television is the first book to concentrate on the high profile genre of "yoof television." Concentrating on such controversial programs as The Word , Snub TV and Don't Forget Your Toothbrush , the author demonstrates how the contemporary youth audience--the so-called Generation X--were addressed by these shows' blend of "cynicism and enchantment." Providing both an overview and a series of detailed program analyses the book concentrates on a well-known but little written about genre from a fresh and accessible perspective.
