This history of British and American television drama since 1970 charts the increased transnationalisation of the two production systems. From The Forsyte Saga to Roots to Episodes ; it highlights the close relationship that drives innovation and quality on both sides of the Atlantic.

Needs improvementBy CrainnyThis review is not for the actual content of the Hymnal; which I have absolutely no problem with; but the format - which is a Kindle edition of the book.Short story short: DO NOT BUY KINDLE EDITION.Short story long: You know how in church they post the hymn numbers on the wall and/or in the bulletin for you to know what you are going to be singing today? Yeah; they didnt include an option to search by hymn number. Not only that; but the table of contents is "Not Available For This Title"! How do they expect people to search? Especially when the service is going; and you need to be able to quickly flip to the hymn. Completely idiotic idea to convert the Hymnal to a digital format and not accompany it with the smart search option. There is an option to search by keyword; so lets say I entered the Hymn number 690; which happens to be this Sunday hymn; I got 18 search results. Second major bummer is -- all the music score is an image; so while you do have an option to zoom in on a page to be able to read the tiny font; the images are fuzzy; and if you need to "flip the page"; you cant do it in the zoomed view; so you have to zoom out; flip; and zoom in again. Keep away from this option; itll save your money and your nerves.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Too Difficult to NavigateBy Kim M KremerI bought this for my Kindle for those instances in which I could remember some lyrics to a hymn and wanted to find the rest of them without having to use an internet search engine. I wasted my money.Perhaps Im just too dull to figure it out; but I cannot see how to navigate through this book. It would have been so much easier if the Table of Contents and the various Indices contained links to the hymns; but they dont. I can only locate a particular hymn by scrolling through the book and guessing where it should be.And the hymns arent always there. Lets say Im looking for hymn number 595. I may get to a page that has the heading for that hymn; but its likely that I will have to continue to scroll to find the "picture" of what the page would look like in the printed hymnal. In many cases; when I scroll through subsequent pages; all I find is the page heading (number and hymn title) - no lyrics or music.This book is mostly completely useless. It makes me wonder if my copy is somehow broken; or if all the positive reviews were actually intended for a different ebook.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Should Be Much; Much BetterBy SilvergriffinI love e-books and the convenience. So after recently joining the choir; I was excited to see a few members with e-readers. I wasnt even discouraged when they told me how they had come across incomplete songs. I was so sure that wouldnt happen with my kindle (they had other brands).Even though at least one review I read mentioned small print; I didnt think it would be as bad as it turned out to be.On my older kindle fire - unreadable.On my kindle fire tablet better; but not good enough to use while singing (and why else would I buy a hymnal?).I was going to give it 2 stars; but for the cost (money I couldnt afford to waste) I expect a fully functional book. This isnt one.
