The Persistence of Television examines more than 60 years of television - including popular shows such as Doctor Who, Twin Peaks, and NYPD Blue - to identify the elements that have entertained and informed viewers from the beginning of mass broadcasting to the present day, proposing that most television viewing is rooted in traditional programming that is received in conventional ways. On-screen faces, programmes and genres, and production practices drawn from British, American and Australian television services are examined to demonstrate how continuity persists in the face of change. There's no denying the excitement or the value of the new, but the contributors to this book argue that it runs in tandem with enduring aspects of the already existing.

Legendary steam railway locomotives such as Flying Scotsman, Mallard, Stephenson's Rocket and City of Truro have been household names for generations and are now owned by the public. These are the locomotives that not only shaped global transport history but steered the evolution of the modern world, shrinking continents and making rapid transit between one-time faraway places an everyday occurrence affordable to all. The National Collection was amassed largely in the face of modernisation of the British railway network, when the introduction of diesel and electric locomotives in the Fifties led to the mass withdrawal and scrapping of many classic steam locomotive types. Officialdom decreed that examples should be preserved for posterity thus creating a fantastic legacy of locomotives big and small for future generations to relish. Locomotives of the National Collection, written by Heritage Railway magazine editor Robin Jones, looks at both the big named engines and the lesser-known workhorses, which richly deserve their place alongside them, all with their own stories to tell.
