  Task 1: Mail Online review of Capital 1) Re-read the  Mail Online review of  Capital . Why does it suggest that  Capital  features a left-wing ideology? The DM a clearly right wing newspaper is trying to criticise left wing ideologies because they do not support the positive portrayal of immigrants and other because they find it to be harmful and oppose it. They think that 'impartial' institutions like the BBC should not promote this because it encourages tolerance. Moreover, the positive representation of immigrants, Muslims. and negative representation of white rich characters like Rodger and Arabella demonstrate this. 2) Choose  three  quotes from the review that are particularly critical of  Capital  and paste them into your blogpost. Do you agree with the criticisms? Why? Capital was as stuffed full with fashionable causes as Jeremy Corbyn’s function diary. Left staring at the proverbial damp squib. Everything British came in for a ...

Reviews and features Guardian review by Sam Wollaston London Evening Standard: five things you need to know about  Capital 1) What positive points does the review pick out about  Capital ?  What criticisms are made - either of the TV drama or the original novel? That it was able to squeeze and incredible amount into one street, one book and 3 hours of television. They identified that initially unlikable characters like Rodger and Arabella , are revealed to be quite complex characters making them all the more interesting. The setting of the streets were actually recognisable and familiar, as well as the issues, conversations, obsessions and fears being the same as real life. Not only was it a brilliant allegorical portrait of London , it has many overlapping stories over a series of characters. Brilliant cast Novel offered a hilarious and incisive look at the boom-and-bust economics of 2007 , and the themes stay disappointingly relevant even today.  True experie...

  1) What is serial television drama? Write your own definition.  It tells  a story, and delivers narrative resolution, in a number of parts over a  period of time often follwing a narrative/  multi-stranded arc. 2) List five of the TV dramas discussed in the history of the genre on page 1 of the factsheet. How has the genre evolved over time? Starsky and Hutch, The Sweeney, Danger Man, The Avengers, Minder. Until the early 1980s most US television drama series followed a  set narrative structure, comprising of a story of the week delivering  narrative resolution at the end of the episode.

Crucially the following episode starts afresh with no  reference to the previous story. The advantage of this model is th...
