| description | This dissertation is aimed at understanding the ways in which American viewers interact with and read British detective dramas and what pleasures they may experience from this interaction. It addresses a gap in critical knowledge of American audiences' reception of British media through a focus on the responses of a selected audience to a questionnaire and interview as well as an analysis of a separate audience's group discussions on British television programming. The majority of the dissertation is an analysis of this empirical data which is further contextualised within a consideration of the marketing and promotion of these programmes in the press and in relation to the British tourist industry and concepts of heritage. |
