On a wintry night in 1971, Masterpiece Theatre debuted on PBS. Fifty years later, Americas appetite for British drama has never been bigger. The classic television program has brought its fans protagonists such as The Dowager Countess and Ross Poldark and series that include Downton Abbey and Prime Suspect.
In Masterpiece: Americas 50-Year-Old Love Affair with British Television Drama, Nancy West provides a fascinating history of the acclaimed program. West combines excerpts from original interviews, thoughtful commentary, and lush photography to deliver a deep exploration of the television drama. Vibrant stories and anecdotes about Masterpieces most colorful shows are peppered throughout, such as why Benedict Cumberbatch hates Downton Abbey and how screenwriter Daisy Goodwin created a teenage portrait of Queen Victoria after fighting with her daughter about homework.
Featuring an array of color photos from Masterpieces best-loved dramas, this book offers a penetrating look into the programs influence on television, publishing, fashion, and its millions of fans.

Nancy West is professor of English at the University of Missouri and the author of Kodak and the Lens of Nostalgia (2000) and Tabloid, Inc.: Crimes, News, Narratives (2010). Her books have led to appearances on PBSs American Experience and the BBCs Genius of Photography as well as keynote speeches at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, the London School of Design, and the Amon Carter Museum. She is a regular contributor to Written by Magazine, the Atlantic, the Chronicle of Higher Education, and the Los Angeles Review of Books. She is currently writing a memoir, set in the 1970s, about the Manhattan film scene.
I would like to thank all the people at WGBH and Masterpiece who helped with this book, especially Steven Ashley, the shows senior producer. I also want to thank Polly Bennell, Averill Murr, and Steven Watts for their whip-smart commentary on drafts of the book. Marie McMullan did a superb job of assembling the appendixes, and Craig Kluever lent his usual pragmatic advice.
I dedicate the book to Silas Kluever, who reminds me that life holds pleasures beyond books and British drama.
