Cars are vehicles for television, a fixture of the shows and ads that drive TV. In this original approach to contemporary television, Paul Grainge looks beyond questions of speed, spoilers and cylinders to explore the small screen intimacy of cars - the way people interact, sing and dwell in the habitat of automobiles. Considering the industrial, cultural and aesthetic relation between TV and cars, Grainge examines how comedy entertainment such as sitcoms, talk shows, web series and vlogs have been drawn to the practice of 'passengering'.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGetting under the bonnet of popular 'drive-and-talk' series like \u003cem\u003eThe Trip\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCarpool Karaoke\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePeter Kay's Car Share\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eComedians in Cars Getting Coffee\u003c\/em\u003e, this engaging interdisciplinary excursion finds new ways to look at both television and the social life of cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Grainge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474480047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474480048\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.43w x 0.47d","brand":"Paul Grainge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056773427455,"sku":"9781474480048","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_398420b4-9805-46a3-a361-c49a7398fa45.jpg?v=1685043193","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tv-and-cars-paul-grainge-9781474480048","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
