Images of Disability on Television
First published in 1992, Images of Disability on Television examines the frequency and nature of disability on British and American television and how it is perceived and presented by programme makers. Attitudes held by those closest to the issues - disabled people, their carers, and television producers and writers - are presented as the result of interviews and discussions. There is an increasingly strong sentiment that television has got it wrong as far as disability is concerned and does not play its proper role in allowing the non-disabled to understand fully the world of disabled people. This book provides information to promote greater understanding of the needs of the disabled people in television portrayal and opens up possibilities for a change in attitudes. It will be valuable reading for students, researchers and lecturers in the social sciences, communication studies, and media studies.

He's made 'geektelligence' hot in the insanely popular BBC series Sherlock, and explored his dark side in blockbusters like Star Trek: Into Darkness and the Hobbit trilogy. Along the way he's won the hearts, minds and Twitter accounts of an alarmingly enthusiastic global fan base. Illustrated throughout with full lcolour photographs, Cumberlicious is an essential guide to the man at the centre of the Cumberverse
