520    Why are some controversial issues covered in TV soaps and 
       dramas and not others? How are decisions really made 
       'behind the scenes'? How do programme makers push 
       boundaries without losing viewers? What do audiences take 
       away from their viewing experience? Does TV fiction have a
       greater impact on public understandings than TV news? This
       exciting new book draws on unique empirical data to 
       examine the relationship between popular television 
       fiction and wider society. The book gives lively and 
       engaging insights into how and why socially sensitive 
       story lines were taken up by different TV programmes from 
       the late 1980s to the 2000s. Drawing on a series of case 
       studies of medicine, health, illness and social problems 
       including breast cancer, mental distress, sexual abuse and
       violence it comprehensively traces the path of storylines 
       from initial conception through to audience reception and 
       uses contemporary examples to link practice to theory. For
       the first time, this book addresses production and 
       reception processes across a range of programmes and 
       clearly demonstrates the ways in which television fiction 
       plays a vital and powerful role in reflecting and shaping 
       socio-cultural attitudes.
