| Abstract: | This article examines the representation of the past on British television. As a response to the perennial popularity of history programming, debates about authenticity and truth in relation to television's rendering of history have been particularly active in recent years. These debates are considered here through an exploration of the historical, socio-cultural but also medium-specific context of the representation of history. Through a study of the 1987 BBC series The Victorian Kitchen Garden, these issues are explored in relation to the heritage movement, television genres and shifts in modes of address that indicate a hybrid generic identity which transcends boundaries and is suggestive in its implications for our understanding not of only 1980s heritage and history programming but also of a subgenre of reality television.
