The graphs illustrate the proportions of different films shown on TV in the UK and Australia as well as the number of admissions in those countries between 1975 and 2005.
It is, overall, striking that the US films dominated TVs in both countries. Noticeably, the count for admissions generally increased both in the UK and Australia, with the former showing relatively higher figures over the span covered.
Looking at the chart A, first, it is clear that Australian and British televisions were primarily constituted by US-made films in 2001, at approximately 66 % and 76 % respectively. By stark contrast, while films produced in the UK were somewhat popular in the UK itself, at about 20%, merely 2 % of TV content in Australia was made up by Australian films.
As for the chart B, the number of admissions in Australia (25 m) was nowhere near as high as that in UK (100m) in 1975. By 1983, surprisingly, the gap between those figures had been shrunk out and the admission numbers in the UK were practically two times as much as the count for Australia, showing the respective numbers of about 48 m and 24m. Finally, in 2005, the UK gave just over 160 m admissions to cinemas, whereas Australia granted the half of this figure.
