Tony Garnett is the first book-length study of one of the most respected producers working in British television, responsible for both Cathy Come Home (1966) and This Life (1996-8). The book discusses the ways in which Garnett has shaped the role of the creative producer, and analyses his contribution to a distinctively televisual social realism.

The British "New Wave" of dramatists, actors and directors in the late 1950s and 1960s created a defining moment in post-war theatre. This introduction to the New Wave, provides historical and cultural backgrounds of this era, and includes material on Osborne, Pinter, Bond and Delaney.
