@wolfgang0070 not in terms of culture.

@wolfgang0070 Trying telling the still deluded GB/Grim Brits (who Potter exposed) that they are in a terminal tailspin while still killing mid-east masses including thousands of kids.

@wolfgang0070 *whoosh* Sound of something fast going over my head! Sorry...crossed wires...no wires!

[herefordmsv]

@wolfgang0070 I dont think I would describe Dennis Potter as a "fading scholar"

[dajohnthomas69]

it gives a good insight in Potter's emotional life. I only think that it doesn't reflect the total Potter. The man who also criticizes religion, abuse of power, individual souvereignity as opposed to tiranny of the powerful. That connection isn't being totally shown or made very explicit. Nevertheless, a reasonable introduction to Potters work

@dajohnthomas69 Thats in my other Potter uploads....ie his last interview, the interview with Alan Yentob etc etc

i am a huge dennis potter fan, i studied him for my dissertation and am still not bored of him or the works. i must have seen SD about 15 times and i still find something new in it. x

gee, how Ian Holm young looked!

[roachy333]

many, many thanks for this documentary.

I've always loved his sublime work (even as a child)...and continue to do so...it's TV drama of this quality that is now so thoroughly lacking...that his brilliance shines through ever stronger....over time.

[ascreavie]

[herefordmsv]

Not many comments, but so glad there are still some who appreciate his work.

As a red-head, I can only but relate, and all too well, with dermato-complexie.
