*Apologies for Cross-Posting* British television drama and US imports: Aesthetics, Institutions, Histories. A one-day symposium at the University of Reading, Friday 24 March 2006. Extended deadline for proposals: 31 January 2006. Keynote speakers: Prof. Robin Nelson (Manchester Metropolitan University) Dr. Paul Rixon (Roehampton University) Organised under the auspices of the AHRC-funded research project “British TV Drama and Acquired US Programmes 1970-2000” and the Centre for Television Drama Studies, this event will focus on the interconnections between British and US television. On the basis that a nation’s television landscape never consists merely of indigenous production, the symposium aims to explore how British television drama is affected by the import of television drama from the USA.
