ABSTRACT
Brave Old World What sort of a society is it in which the newest technology carries the oldest messages? I expected the first months of glorious Telecolour to be drenched by the colourful past, but it was still a slight surprise to see Ivanhoe on the cover of Radio Times and Redgauntlet on the cover of TV Times in the same week. "It's Redcoats v. Jacobites as the lTV cameras roam ... " "Will bad King John topple his brother from England's throne?" The rate of regression is becoming alarming.
