..has now closed!Â
We would like to thank all of you – more than 20,000 in total – who took part in The Screen Test, a project led by a team of researchers based at the University of Sussex, in partnership with Radio Times. Â
Your answers will help us to understand more about the role of television and audio in our lives. The preliminary results will be announced at the BFI Southbank in London in September to mark Radio Times's 100th anniversary. The findings will also be shared in a variety of academic articles, research talks and media presentations by our academic partners.

His research has been centred around children's social and emotional development with his personal area of interest being children's social relationships, emotion regulation and psychopathology.
