The talk will explore the history of the Televisual Gothic, a genre of programming that uses Gothic storytelling to critique and expose issues within the television industry. This will be done through a survey of various classic and contemporary works, including Nigel Kneale's The Quatermass Experiment and Paul and Michael Clarkson's Red Rose. Attendees will gain insight into how these programmes challenge societal norms and explore the darker aspects of human nature.

The event will feature a discussion on the use of the Gothic genre in television programming, specifically in relation to the BBC. The talk will examine how the Gothic's subversive potential has been employed to expose and criticise modes of television production that serve capitalist ends.

Tickets are available for £7 (standard) and £6 (concessions). The event will take place at QUAD in Derby's Cathedral Quarter. The venue is located at Market Place, Derby, DE1 3AS.
