The Days of Telly Meme...
Day 10 - A show you thought you wouldn't like but ended up loving
Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was actually my Media Studies teacher at school who got me into Buffy. I was really scathing about the show; I thought the whole premise was stupid, 'a cheerleader who kills vampires', and I'd probably have never watched it at all if it hadn't been for him. We were studying the horror genre as part of our course, and he wanted us to watch an episode of Buffy to show us how the show played with a lot of the conventions of traditional horror, turned concepts on their head and flipped gender roles etc. So we watched 'Prophecy Girl' in class, and I absolutely loved it.
Thinking about it, Mr Fox also introduced me to the Discworld series and Westerns too. I guess I have a lot to thank him for!
