I also co-edit the Routledge journal Celebrity Studies. In addition to this, my work on celebrity has aimed to contribute to historical knowledge about British television and celebrity, as well as the relationship between celebrity and femininity. With regard to British reality TV, I have examined aspects of historical development, issues of generic labeling and circulation, and questions of celebrity.

In my historical research on British television (British TV and Film in the 1950s, Entertaining TV: the BBC and Popular Programme Culture in the 1950s), I have been keen to challenge received ideas about British television history, whether with regard to its relations with the film industry in the early years, or the canonical ideas about early BBC television rejecting notions of the ‘popular’. RT marcthevet: Conservative & Labour MPs join forces alongside TV Vet to save disabled dogs Thanks FlorisFriends for your lovely write up about SirRogerGale. My research focuses on British television history (especially the 1950s), contemporary television genres (such Reality TV and quiz shows), and the subject of celebrity.
I joined UEA as Reader in Television in 2007, where I primarily teach in the areas of television history, popular television and historical/ contemporary celebrity. In my first full-time teaching job at the Southampton Institute (now Southampton Solent University) I taught Media and Cultural studies, before moving on to teach television and film at the University of Kent. I then undertook a PhD on the subject of British film and television in the 1950s (also at the University of Southampton), specifically the early relations between the two media, in the form of the first ‘cinema programmes’ on television. I studied English and Media studies (BA) at the University of Sussex, then gained an MA in film from the University of Southampton.
