“…As I have argued in the first part of this article (Buckingham, 1987), an exclusive concentration on representation-and particularly on comparing representations with 'reality'-may lead one to ignore the issue of how viewers are invited to make sense of texts, and how they are positioned in relation to the representations provided.…”

This case study represents an application of the theoretical approach outlined in the first part of this article, published in the Journal of Educational Television, 13 (2). It is based on an analysis of programmes in the BBC series for preschool children You and Me, transmitted in the school year 1984-85. It provides an illustrated typology of the modes of subject positioning employed in the series, and a comparative analysis identifying changes in its pedagogic style over the past five years. It concludes with a critique of the 'child-centred' emphasis of the more recent programmes, and their models of social regulation.

Television still dominates public discourse about the role of media in developed Western economies, especially in relation to the alleged effects of violent material on children. Fears about television's potentially negative effects have also been amplified by the arrival of new digital technologies for the production and distribution of programs which can easily cross national boundaries and evade government controls. This article analyses the conflicting evidence available from academic research and shows how the conclusions reached by researchers derive from different starting assumptions about children as viewers. It explains how recent advances in ethnographic audience studies can help to understand some of the complexities of children's interaction with television and other media. It suggests a new agenda which may generate more positive strategies for research on children's television viewing.
