Television Plays

Much has been said about the future of public service content, the growth of multiple platforms, new market and regulatory pressures, and changing audience preferences and practices, among other widely debated topics. However, little attention has been paid to the role that public service television plays in educating, entertaining, and broadening the horizons of children in the UK. This chapter focuses on how public service television can better serve a child audience that spends on average at least 35 hours per week consuming broadcast, on-demand, and online content. It discusses how children still view public service television on a television set; whether children's television viewing really in decline; the case for online provision of children's public service television; the case for online provision for children of other public service content; and the case for enhancing the ‘discoverability’ of children's public service content.

This article presents a case study of the Australian children’s television programme, First Day (ABC Australia 2020–present), which depicts a young transgender girl’s experiences beginning high school. The article explores the screenwriting process involved in creating inclusive and diverse children’s television, drawing on an original interview with Julie Kalceff, the show’s screenwriter and director. Kalceff discusses her screenwriting process writing for and about children who occupy liminal and marginal spaces and the research, writing and consultation processes undertaken to create her pioneering work with trans characters as lead protagonists. The resulting series explores the universal experience of starting the high school journey, while allowing for a normalizing of gender diversity on-screen – hopefully the first of many of its type in the future. By foregrounding historically marginalized characters, screenwriters can explore universal social, psychological and physical trials, and in the process, break down stigmas surrounding LGBTQ people.

Sense Of Identity

Recreation and repetition of what Romanian children are expected to be, as well as their acts of individual agency, accomplish a sense of identity reconstructed in public narratives of childhood. Being a child is increasingly constituted by addressing notions of economic opportunities. TV performance is viewed as a process steeped in discursive and visual practices to be understood and continued in daily life. Performative stereotypes give new meanings to competition-style shows and news featuring underage characters. They are a major conduit for the consumption of identity-based narratives inextricably tied to children as driven individuals. Ultimately, Romanian children’s television advertises changing ideas about the future of the nation as related to the performance of childhood. This has consequences on and off-screen.

Current Practices

Within the context of regulation of all television advertising, the regulation of children's television advertising as currently practised is discussed, and a description of the legal and self-regulative codes children's advertising must comply with is given. The commercial television industry has voluntarily extended the scope of statutory regulation of advertisements, by self regulation. The author argues that the present balance between participatory regulations by way of voluntary codes developed and administered by the television industry, and external regulations by statutory agencies should shift further towards the TV stations in the future.
