About this Journal

The Journal of British Cinema and Television is the prime site for anyone interested in reading or publishing original work in the fields of British cinema and television. Themed issues alternate with general ones, and each issue contains a wide range of articles and substantial book reviews. The Journal also runs conference reports, in-depth interviews with leading practitioners in the field, and a section intended to encourage debate amongst those studying British cinema and television. 

From 2012 the journal has been published quarterly, and its steady transition in its nine years of existence from a biannual to a triannual to a quarterly is a mark of its considerable success over a relatively short period of time. It is fully peer-reviewed, and future themed issues will be devoted to BBC2, ageing and projection.
