Title: Comment: Portraying Wales in television drama Authors: Blandford, Steven; Lacey, Stephen; Mcelroy, Ruth. A; Williams, Rebecca Abstract: This comment piece offers a brief report on our current research with BBC Audience Council Wales. Although considering a range of portrayals of Wales on TV, the project uses Doctor Who and Torchwood as a case study to investigate these issues. Given the ongoing debate over the status of both English and Welsh-language broadcasting in Wales, the movement of more dramatic production from London to the regions, and arguments over whether BBC Wales’ recent successes with shows such as Doctor Who and Torchwood are positive for the country’s position as a producer of quality television programming, issues of portrayal look set to remain on the agenda.

Title: Television and the local press: formations of value in making must-see TV Authors: McElroy, Ruth A. Abstract: This article addresses an under-researched area in the analysis of contemporary broadcasting, namely the public life of Welsh television in the regional or local press. Focussing specifically upon BBC Wales’s Coal House (Indus Films), the article considers the importance of promotional discourse in the making of television history. In the process it argues that we need to be attentive to the diverse meanings of multiplatform as a concept and should not discount the regional or local press as a site in which television criticism may be forged and contested. Through textual analysis of over forty press cuttings, the article argues that the press read Coal House through the lens of their own commercial attachment to an imagined community, but that in so doing, they often chimed with broadcasters and viewers’ concerns with cultural value and a sense of the past in Wales today.
