Dennis Potter - With Aggressive Affection

Sunday Feature

Available for over a year

The very public death of television playwright Dennis Potter (1935-94), author of 'The Singing Detective', 'Blue Remembered Hills' and 'Pennies from Heaven' was an event which has eclipsed our memory of his remarkable work.
