This is an essay required for my Television and New Media Broadcasting assessment (module name: Days of Hope: TV Drama in Broadcasting). The essay should present a detailed critical analysis of ideological and political aspects in which Television drama challenge the view of history. It should relate to two Television dramas: one from public service broadcasting – BBC (“I Claudius” BBC, 1976) and one commercial (“Downton Abbey” ITV)._x000D_
The essays should discuss such aspects as heritage, costume drama and literary adaptations as well as Golden Age of Television Drama (defined by a commitment to taste, heritage, cultural and political, relevance and seriousness and how they open up debates over issues of nationhood and broadcasting itself)._x000D_
It should also include the analysis of the following: How does it negotiate and at times circumvent the politics of Empire, colonialism and gender and to what extent may we argue that this form de-politicises and re-imagines history._x000D_
