The question of how television operates on a stylistic level has been critically underexplored, despite being fundamental to our viewing experience. This significant new work redresses a vital gap in Television Studies by engaging with the stylistic dynamics of TV; exploring the aesthetic properties and values of both the medium and particular types of output (specific programmes); and raising important questions about the way we judge television as both cultural artifact and art form. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTelevision Aesthetics and Style\u003c\/i\u003e provides a unique and vital intervention in the field, raising key questions about television's artistic properties and possibilities.
