His oeuvre is one where populist art forms and intellectually complex arguments co-exist seamlessly, allowing the work to appeal to a wide audience. Bennett's familiar voice combines both an appreciation for the past with a critical assessment of contemporary Britain, often through relentlessly detailed observation of himself and of others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBennett has acted, written, directed, presented or edited in almost every conceivable dramatic medium, including stage, television, radio, film and print media. This book is the first to focus on his often neglected work for television, from the mid-1960s right through to the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt encompasses formats such as the single play (the rarely seen 1970s collaborations with Stephen Frears and Lindsay Anderson), the two \u003cem\u003eTalking Heads\u003c\/em\u003e series, perceived as a reinvention of the television monologue, and his autobiographical documentaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile providing a context of television drama in which Bennett's output is embedded, this study also provides compact overviews of his work in other media.
