By coincidence I happened to spend half an hour last night going through Christopher Wicking's book on TV directors from the inception of network TV up through the eighties. One of his points is that visually TV quickly became static. For reasons of budget and laziness, there was a corporate style used by most TV directors. The best men and women found ways to do good work within those confines but too much "product" was dull and unimaginative.

Wicking credits Jerry Thorp and his Kung-Fu show wit
