Dear colleagues

Another themed week this week - John Ellis writes about BBC2s Big Allotment Challenge and argues that it pushes the format to near breaking point.  Erica Horton muses on the notion of what constitutes talent and we have decided to re-run Sarah Cardwell's blog on The Great British Bake Off and Rachel Moseley's on The Great British Sewing Bee for those of you that missed them the first time round.

With all the usual news, CFPs and announcements.

With best wishes
Kim, Debra and all at Critical Studies in Television
