We look at historical representations in TV drama in order to see how society both reflects and shapes representation. Stereotyping is a key issue and British drama plays with the expectations an audience has of iteslf and the way contemporary society is depicted.
Drawing room comedies: My Fair Lady (1956)
Comedy of class: Educating Rita (1980)
Middle-class snobbery: The Good Life (1975) and Keeping Up Appearances (1990-5)
We analyse representations of social class as we screen them. You have a four-page handout to highlight and keep.
