"Croak voiced Daleks" is how Dennis Potter in his speech to the 1993 Edinburgh Television Festival describes John Birt and Marmaduke Hussey. In this Right to Reply Special, Potter joins other TV figures of the time to discuss the aftermath of his speech.
Dennis Potter was a brilliant visionary both in his writings and his view on the direction of the BBC. If he were around today, he would be pointing out to everyone "i told you so". The BBC has become a mouth piece for Government legislation and industrialist agenda...What is left of this institution is by all intent and purpose a derelict entity..
Brilliant - how you managed to find this I dont know, but its a very welcome contribution for sure. I have been a Dennis Potter fan for many years and love the way he speaks in person and through his plays.
What language from mr. Potter...

Didn't some MP use "croaking dalek" as a term to describe what things sound like through a cochlear implant?
