You’re Nicked – with Ben Lamb

Wed 24 Apr, 1:00 pm2:00 pm

About the event

With wit, humour and insight, the author of the first dedicated study of one of British television’s most popular genres conducts a forensic investigation of British television police series from 1955 to the present.  

In just one-hour, Ben Lamb – author of You’re Nicked: Investigating British Television Police Series – analyses the genre, from Dixon of Dock Green to Happy Valley via The Sweeney, The Bill, Cracker and Line of Duty 

Ben explores how the representation of the police station, domestic scenes of criminals and the private lives of police officials can unearth the complex ideology underpinning each series and determine how the genre has developed alongside modern British society.  

Ideal for TV crime-drama enthusiasts, as well as scholars and students of British history, television, culture, sociology, and criminology.
