Where’s my TV?

Steven Johnson and others have raved about how complex ‘Lost’ is. Why are they so enamoured of such shallow, glossy shows when the cinema serves up much more challenging material? Why can’t TV do the same?

On this day I was reading

• The Diary of Samuel Pepys: 1662 v. 3 by Robert Latham (Editor), William Matthews (Editor), Samuel Pepys (Author)
• London Review of Books, Vol. 27 No. 18, 22 September 2005
• Accident by Nicholas Mosley
