About the Book

From early examples such as Star Trek and Sapphire and Steel to more contemporary shows including Life on Mars and The Vampire Diaries, time has frequently been used as a device to allow programme makers to experiment stylistically and challenge established ways of thinking. Time on TV provides a range of exciting, accessible, yet intellectually rigorous essays that consider the many and varied ways in which telefantasy shows have explored this subject, providing the reader with a greater understanding of the importance of time to the success of genre on the small screen.

Review :
"With detailed analysis and thoughtful case studies, the authors in this engaging volume approach one of the most salient - and yet overlooked - modes of television content: time travel. Each chapter deepens and extends temporal exploration of such varied shows as Star Trek, Quantum Leap, Timeslip, Sapphire & Steel, Torchwood, and Life on Mars, among many others. It's about time we had a volume that's all about time." - Paul Booth, De Paul University, author of Time on TV (2012), "This volume feels like the beginning of an important and emerging area of TV Studies. It examines a range of frequently-overlooked examples of telefantasy and provides innovative readings of how these shows engage with discourses of genre, memory and affect. During a period when television's narrative representations of temporality are becoming increasingly complex and viewers' access to television history are being reconfigured, Time on TV's contributions to examining these issues are incredibly timely and welcome." - Dr Ross P. Garner, Cardiff University
