Description
The British Television Pilot Episodes Research Guide 1936-2015 by Christopher Perry A new idea can become an expensive flop for TV executives. So from the earliest days of television, the concept of a pilot episode seemed like a good idea - a way to test new concepts and actors before committing to a full series. This volume sheds light on the often-overlooked world of the TV pilot, revealing many transmitted and untransmitted episodes made through the decades. Chris Perry's research guide covers the history of the pilot episode from 1936 to 2015, providing a unique insight into the development of television programming. With its comprehensive approach, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of British television. By examining the many pilots that were made but never seen by audiences, Perry's guide offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of comedy, variety, drama and factual programming that was once hidden from view.
