Tribute to Dennis Potter

Potter pays homage to himself by having the main character Daniel Freed (Albert Finney), sing Pennies From Heaven in the TV series Karaoke/Cold Lazarus. Another great thriller/science fiction series that should be on DVD.

Imo one of the greatest tv series ever made. I have them on VHS. They seem to now be available on DVD. :) Finally.
See also Potter's last interview.

An unforgettable scene - so moving.

Nice video tribute for a great sf series but I feel that the internet is doing the opposite effect. The net is a medium that isn't controlled by any media tycoon or government. They can't control the sheer number of people contributing to it and find it hard to censor. It's democratic and information is free. Maybe one day they'll be able to take control but so far they have not. They can't control it in China (see newsnight website) and it migh bring down the regiem.

to those who have not seen this brilliant series along with Karaoke, do yourself a favour - find it, watch it, talk about it, watch it again. it is one of the best tv series i've seen.

i wish i have an adventure like this when i'm old. not cold lazarus though
-
Can I download Karoake/Cold Lazarus ANYWHERE? I am looking for ages ... :(

Dennis Potter arranged it before he died so Karaoke and Cold Lazarus would play on both BBC and Channel 4, two rival broadcasting networks in the UK. Unfortunately this kind of backfired because now it's kind of unclear who really owns the rights. A real shame, brilliant series.

Potter was amazing. He is missed.

I find it unusual that these series are not available to buy or rent. It was Potter's last work, a statement and a testament to what he had learned in his life.
It would be interesting to see who actually controls the rights for the series and why they have chosen to let it sit on a dusty shelf rather than to exploit their rights on cable, dvd or broadcast TV. Dennis Potter's other works seem readily available, why not these series?
