Abstract
While textual analysis provides a useful tool for examining archive screen performances, purely immanent readings often ignore the contextualising factors which help shape them; this article therefore sets out to examine the various determinants of television acting and how they have changed between the live, multi-camera studio era and the present day. The various factors considered include: the time period allocated to produce a television drama, and how it is utilised; production process and technology; the role of the television director; and actor experience and training. Taken together, these determinants offer the potential for a fuller understanding of television acting.
