"... a wealth of diligent and intelligent research, in a form suitable either as a library reference work or for idle, random perusal from a bathroom shelf. 9/10" TV Zone "It is a rare publication that comes along these days that can be deemed an essential purchase. This is one of them." Cult TV The Hill and Beyond was published by the British Film Institute in March 2003. It is an encyclopedic reference book covering 50 years of television drama made for children between 1950 and 2000 - whether you want to look back or learn more about Grange Hill, The Chronicles of Narnia or beyond this is the book you need. Written by Alistair D. McGown and Mark J. Docherty, the book aims to give just the right balance of coverage and data to both classics and obscurities. BBC and ITV, black and white and colour, period or contemporary or futuristic science-fiction, adventure or issues-based, 1950s, 60s , 70s, 80s and 90s ... it's all here. 300 series are covered, from single plays to long-running series, hopefully including all remakes and sequels from down the years. The series given coverage are listed below - note that for example while Children of the New Forest is covered as a 90s series, this entry also contains extensive info on all previous TV adaptations. "Whether your interest is nostalgia or curiosity, study or research, this book is crammed with a fascinating wealth of detail. The authors present a personal, humorous yet authoritative overview of an often neglected aspect of the British television culture, one that is justifiably the envy of the world."
