ethical values, and the role of television drama in forging biographical 
legacy.

Programmes discussed include /Elgar /(1962), /The Bront//ës of Haworth 
/(1973), /The Alan Clark Diaries /(2004), /The Curse of Steptoe /(2008), 
/Babs /(2017), /Gentleman Jack /(2019) and, of course, /The Crown / 
(2016 -).
