Reviews

From Ivor The Engine to Scooby Doo, Greg Healey has trained his lens on the cherished TV touchstones of a generation of children, simultaneously zooming in on the infinitesimal detail and pulling back to frame these programmes within an infinitely wider socio-political and cultural context. Meticulous, absorbing and revelatory, Not In Front of The Children lends beating hearts to hitherto two-dimensional cartoon characters, overturning many long-held assumptions and fallacies along the way. It's a story about us as much as it about them - and you'll never think of those dreamily-remembered TV episodes in quite the same way again. -Marco Rossi, Record Collector Magazine
