Blimey - Sweeney documentary on Radio Four
This Saturday at 10.30am Britain in a Box returns to Radio 4. The four part series, presented by Paul Jackson, apparently "explores television's ability to reflect and influence the society it serves". Or, in human languague, contains lots of clips and people going "Wasn't it good?"
The first show celebrates The Sweeney, and how it changed forever the way television drama was written and produced. Out went long theatrical speeches filmed in large studios and in came sharp, witty dialogue filmed almost entirely on location.
