  • Looking at the spike in viewers over the past couple of days, I want to thank everybody who's taken the time to listen to Mr. Potter and leave comments. I urge you to watch the complete final interview with Melvyn Bragg. You can find it here on YouTube.

  • "I call my cancer Rupert"

    This clip should be shown on every channel, every day, until the point sinks in. Fuck Murdoch and fuck every careerist politician and every corrupt member of the Met who did slimy deals with him and his 'journalists'.

  • i love this man

  • @littleblackpistol Hear, hear. Where are our day's Dennis Potters?

  • @HandwrittenTheatre Its been removed again for copyright infringement. Whats going on? This will be the second time its been removed. We'll have to start over again.

  • I always think of dennis when i see murdoch - Dennis was a good Forest boy!!

  • This man spoke sense before The Guardian lost the plot, and the BBC.

  • My thought on Potter's gentle venom toward the Murdoch empire is to paraphrase form the film,The Quiet Man....* 'tis Homeric* .

  • *..the blossomest blossom...* I recall that phrase so well - there was I, thinking I was the only person on this planet to have watched this inteview . Hope this thread does not get hijacked and turn to a Murdoch- wapping - plenty of spaces on you tube to join in with that .

    If I had a nano of Potter's genius ,I'd die a happy lady<term used looseley :)

    Radio Times were/are running a poll of * best interviews ever*and I voted for Potter .
