''Moving Wallpaper'' is a British satirical comedy-drama television series set in a TV production unit. It ran on ITV for two series in 2008–2009. The subject of the first series was the production of a soap called ''Echo Beach'', each episode of which aired directly after the ''Moving Wallpaper'' episode about its production. The second series shifted to the production of a "zombie show" called ''Renaissance''. Ben Miller confirmed in May 2009 on his Twitter account that no further series will be made.〔https://twitter.com/bennylicious〕 The title, "Moving Wallpaper", is a disparaging term applied to uninspiring TV shows, or to television in general, referring to the perception that modern television viewers are "mindless absorbers of images", as if staring at wallpaper.〔(''Formations'', p. 175 ), Dan Fleming, Henry A. Giroux and Lawrence Grossberg, Manchester University Press, 2000〕 ==History== The show was created by Tony Jordan and produced by Kudos for ITV. Filming for series one started in July 2007 and the show began airing on ITV on 10 January 2008, continuing at 9 pm on Fridays thereafter for twelve weekly episodes.〔(Television - News - 'Beach' and 'Wallpaper' supporting cast confirmed - Digital Spy )〕 The "fictional" soap opera ''Echo Beach'' was itself shown immediately afterwards at 9.30 pm. A six-episode second series of ''Moving Wallpaper'' was commissioned and began airing on ITV on 28 February 2009, again in the Friday 9 pm slot. The companion soap ''Echo Beach'' was cancelled, however, and the storylines of series two instead revolved around a "zombie show" called ''Renaissance''. Unlike ''Echo Beach'' in series one, which was a full broadcast series, ''Renaissance'' was a half-hour pilot screened after the conclusion of the second series only on the ITV website, itv.com. In Australia, season one of ''Moving Wallpaper'' aired back-to-back with ''Echo Beach'' on ABC2 each Friday at 8:30pm from 30 May 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=ABC2 Programming Airdate: Moving Wallpaper & Echo Beach (episode one) )〕 Both programs were later repeated on the higher-rated ABC1 channel a year later from 6 May 2009 on Wednesday nights. Yet, this time, ''Echo Beach'' was separated from its sister program and placed in an early Saturday evening timeslot three days later.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=ABC1 Programming Airdate: Moving Wallpaper (episode one) )〕 Season two premiered on ABC1 each Friday night at 10:15pm from 19 February 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=ABC1 Programming Airdate: Moving Wallpaper (episode thirteen, season two) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moving Wallpaper」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
