Ever wondered what it is about Buffy that has established the show as one of the all-time TV greats?

Well wonder no more, as over at the BBC drama site, Richard Vine - current TV Editor of The Guardian Guide - has put together a list of ten ways this addictive series has played with established television writing conventions.

In an article, titled Teen Rebels, he explains that few programmes have so effectively identified and then smashed the storytelling practices of TV as Buffy.

From going out with Mr Wrong (twice), to having a girl, (rather than boy), come to the rescue, to returning from the dead again and again, Vine tells us why the show is so very good at turning the world of TV on its head.
