Professor Nelson's companion considers the stage and screen work of one of the great auteurs of our present age. Ranging across Poliakoff's work for the theatre, his early TV dramas and his high-profile work for the screen since 1998, this is an invaluable study of a unique theatre, film and TV talent.

TV Drama in Transition reflects upon changing dramatic forms on television in the context of broad cultural shifts over the past two decades. This book is generally concerned as much with the condition of culture in the 1980s and 1990s, as specifically with TV drama.
