Television in Great Britain — Телевидение в Великобритании

Critics claim that the golden age of television occurred in the 1950’s.
Various fads have swept the television scene — e. g. westerns, doctor and lawyer shows, cops-and-robbers series, rural comedies.
Sports coverage of baseball, golf and especially professional football is currently in vogue.
Late evening talk shows are currently popular. Recently controversies involving television have concerned children’s programming, the issue of violence, and the right of TV to broadcast controversial news programs. Psychologists have argued that the presentation of violence on television might lead young people to regard violence as acceptable behaviour. TV is a major factor in British life.
The British spend a great deal of time watching television. Some people watch one program, and then they are tempted to watch the next one as well, when perhaps they ought to be doing something else.
The more intelligent people, however, choose their programs

very carefully. They find out what they really want to watch by studying the printed programs, and do not allow themselves to waste too much time.

Телевидение в Великобритании

Критики утверждают, что золотой век телевидения начался в 1950-х годах.
На телевизионном экране появились новые жанры, например, вестерны, шоу врачей и адвокатов, полицейские сериалы, сельские комедии.
Спортивный обзор различных видов спорта — бейсбола, гольфа и, особенно, футбола — очень популярен сегодня.
Ток-шоу поздним вечером сегодня так же очень популярны. Сейчас ведутся споры о детских программах, поднимается вопрос о праве телевидения показывать сцены насилия и провокационные информационные

программы. Психологи утверждают, что сцены насилия на телевидении могут привести к тому, что молодежь будет расценивать такое поведение как нормальное. Телевидение — важный фактор британской жизни.
Британцы тратят много времени на просмотр телевизора. Некоторые смотрят одну программу, затем увлекаются следующей, хотя, наверное, они предпочли бы делать что-то другое.
Более образованные люди, однако, выбирают программы очень тщательно. Они отмечают в телепрограмме на неделю, что хотят посмотреть, и не позволяют себе тратить время впустую.
