| Summary: | Focusing on the award winning costume designer Yves Barre’s work for The
League of Gentlemen (BBC, 1999-2002), this article explores the role of the
costume designer in television production. Using an anthropological method
that combines original interviews with Barre, Steve Pemberton (one of the
writer/performers) and Jon Plowman (the executive producer) as well as
second hand material such as DVD extras, the article provides insight into
the show’s creative process. The underlying objective is to shed light on
the costume design process – an understudied stage of television
production. |
