Notes
- Information on arrangement of the bibliography.
- List television programmes alphabetically by the first primary contributor's surname.
- Tracing the details needed for a reference after the broadcast can be difficult. The best source of information is TRILT (Television and Radio Index for Learning and Teaching) which gives details of television and radio programmes schedules from 2001 onwards for over 330 different channels plus a substantial selection of terrestrial television programmes back to 1995. The Internet Movie Database is another good source for these details.
