This TV essay dossier is devoted to Stuart Marshall (1949–1993). It selectively reprints an archive of his ideas, photographs and writing as illustrative of Marshall’s thinking through television as an extended critique of the televisual – sound and image –, as well as how this way of thinking through practice translates into an TV essayistic mode used to comment directly on the nature of image-making and the medium itself. Interwoven with this material archive is an original essay by Colin Perry, as well as In Conversation between Rebecca Dobbs (Marshall’s producer) and Caroline Spry (commissioner of his work at Channel 4).
