Wonderful as The Singing Detective and Pennies From Heaven are, Dennis Potter's numerous one-off television plays often contained some of his greatest and most incisive writing. Such is arguably the case with his masterful take on the Cambridge Spies, Blade On The Feather (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080443/). The problem is they're almost impossible to find. I've already uploaded the dark, seamy fable Brimstone and Treacle and I soon plan to add the two politically-charged Nigel Barton plays, Son Of Man and Where Adam Stood as well. By hook or by crook, Dennis Potter will be brought back to life if it's the last thing I do!
(I don't own any of the rights. This was once available on a limited edition Dutch boxset of three Potter plays, but that's been long out of print).

MacTaggart lecture "I am giving the melodramatic and not at all tuneful title Occupying Powers to this year’s James MacTaggart Memorial Lecture. The title has not been chosen simply to indulge yet again in the inevitable paranoia which so afflicts writers that work in television, although I’ll give that a go too. No, I call this Occupying Powers so that I can reflect behind the barricade of metaphor about what it really feels like, for many others besides myself who sell their services and some of their passions to the strange new generations of broadcasting managements and their proprietors.
More than that, wider than that, I want to use the title to reach beyond our parochial concerns and grapple with a few thoughts about what it means to be a citizen (or do I mean a consumer) in the United Kingdom plc., where two-thirds of the population live on incomes below the national average of £250.00 a week, almost 5.75million exist on less than £100.00 a week, three million are unemployed, three million children live in poverty, one-fifth of the young are innumerate, the chasm between the highest and lowest paid is wider than at any time since 1886, and Dave Lee Travis has resigned from Radio 1. What is at the heart of such a distorted society?
“Broadcasting is at the heart of British Society. The structure and the competition of the broadcasting industry, the purpose and motivation of broadcasters and the programmes and services they offer are vital factors in reflecting and shaping that society.” I, too, would like a mirror that reflects and shapes, but these are the words of the BBC at its most ponderously anodyne as it responded to the Government’s Green Paper on the future of the Corporation. The particular quotation is certainly one which James MacTaggart would have taken for granted with as little sense of astonishment as if someone on an outside consultancy contract had told him on three identical bits of thermal paper that a walk along the corridors of Television Centre will always bring you back shaken but not stirred to where you started."

'Pennies From Heaven' by Dennis Potter. Episode 4: 'Better Think Twice'. Alone and penniless in London, Eileen (Cheryl Campbell) is desperately looking for a way to survive. There seems only one thing for a pretty girl to do and maybe she could face it once, just to pay this week's rent, of course. But she wavers and seems to run away until Tom (Hywel Bennett), the nasty voice of metropolitan common sense, advises her to think again.
A tightly choreographed musical number complete with overhead shots, upright pub piano and 'knees up' Cockney dance routines echoing English film musicals from the 1960s. Delightful takes to camera draws the audience into the routine. But it's the three dancing 'girls', with Potter's take on gender stereotyping, who steal the show.
Music: 'Better Think Twice'. Carroll Gibbons and the Savoy Hotel Orpheans (with Vocal Refrain). Recorded 1934.
Dennis Potter's award-winning 'Pennies From Heaven' (BBC 1978). Directed by Piers Haggard, produced by long-time Potter collaborator Kenith Trodd, with choreography and design by Tudor Davies and Tim Harvey. One of the finest pieces of television the BBC has ever produced.

People in the Forest of Dean recount their connections to Dennis Potter and his work
- published: 14 Jul 2015
- views: 37
Dennis Christopher George Potter (17 May 1935 – 7 June 1994) was an English television dramatist, screenwriter and journalist.
Beginning with contributions to BBC television's The Wednesday Play anthology series from 1965, he peaked with The Singing Detective (1986), a BBC TV serial for which he is most remembered. This work and many of his other widely acclaimed television dramas mixed fantasy and reality, the personal and the social and often used themes and images from popular culture. A psoriatic arthropathy sufferer for most of his adult life, Potter made regular public pronouncements on issues dear to him.
Dennis Potter was born in Berry Hill, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. His father, Walter Edward Potter (1906 – November 1975), was a coal miner in this rural mining area between Gloucester and Wales; his mother was Margaret Constance, née Wale (born 1910). Potter has a sister named June.
Brought up a Protestant he attended the local Salem chapel, and went to Christchurch Junior School where, in 1946, he passed the eleven-plus entrance examination to Bell's Grammar School at Coleford. He then went to St. Clement Danes School in London, while the family lived for a time with his maternal grandfather in Hammersmith. During this time the ten year old Potter was sexually abused by his uncle, an experience he would later allude to many times in his writing. Between 1953 and 1955, Potter did his National Service and learnt Russian at the Joint Services School for Linguists, serving with the Intelligence Corps and subsequently at the War Office.

Blade on the Feather (1980) by Dennis Potter
Wonderful as The Singing Detective and Pennies From Heaven are, Dennis Potter's numerous one-off television plays often contained some of his greatest and most incisive writing. Such is arguably the case with his masterful take on the Cambridge Spies, Blade On The Feather (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080443/). The problem is they're almost impossible to find. I've already uploaded the dark, seamy fable Brimstone and Treacle and I soon plan to add the two politically-charged Nigel Barton plays, Son Of Man and Where Adam Stood as well. By hook or by crook, Dennis Potter will be brought back to life if it's the last thing I do! (I don't own any of the rights. This was once available on a limited edition Dutch boxset of three Potter plays, but that's been long out of print). Potter wor... -

Wonderful as The Singing Detective and Pennies From Heaven are, Dennis Potter's numerous one-off television plays often contained some of his greatest and most incisive writing. Such is arguably the case with his masterful take on the Cambridge Spies, Blade On The Feather (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080443/). The problem is they're almost impossible to find. I've already uploaded the dark, seamy fable Brimstone and Treacle and I soon plan to add the two politically-charged Nigel Barton plays, Son Of Man and Where Adam Stood as well. By hook or by crook, Dennis Potter will be brought back to life if it's the last thing I do!
(I don't own any of the rights. This was once available on a limited edition Dutch boxset of three Potter plays, but that's been long out of print).

MacTaggart lecture "I am giving the melodramatic and not at all tuneful title Occupying Powers to this year’s James MacTaggart Memorial Lecture. The title has not been chosen simply to indulge yet again in the inevitable paranoia which so afflicts writers that work in television, although I’ll give that a go too. No, I call this Occupying Powers so that I can reflect behind the barricade of metaphor about what it really feels like, for many others besides myself who sell their services and some of their passions to the strange new generations of broadcasting managements and their proprietors.
More than that, wider than that, I want to use the title to reach beyond our parochial concerns and grapple with a few thoughts about what it means to be a citizen (or do I mean a consumer) in the United Kingdom plc., where two-thirds of the population live on incomes below the national average of £250.00 a week, almost 5.75million exist on less than £100.00 a week, three million are unemployed, three million children live in poverty, one-fifth of the young are innumerate, the chasm between the highest and lowest paid is wider than at any time since 1886, and Dave Lee Travis has resigned from Radio 1. What is at the heart of such a distorted society?
“Broadcasting is at the heart of British Society. The structure and the competition of the broadcasting industry, the purpose and motivation of broadcasters and the programmes and services they offer are vital factors in reflecting and shaping that society.” I, too, would like a mirror that reflects and shapes, but these are the words of the BBC at its most ponderously anodyne as it responded to the Government’s Green Paper on the future of the Corporation. The particular quotation is certainly one which James MacTaggart would have taken for granted with as little sense of astonishment as if someone on an outside consultancy contract had told him on three identical bits of thermal paper that a walk along the corridors of Television Centre will always bring you back shaken but not stirred to where you started."

'Pennies From Heaven' by Dennis Potter. Episode 4: 'Better Think Twice'. Alone and penniless in London, Eileen (Cheryl Campbell) is desperately looking for a way to survive. There seems only one thing for a pretty girl to do and maybe she could face it once, just to pay this week's rent, of course. But she wavers and seems to run away until Tom (Hywel Bennett), the nasty voice of metropolitan common sense, advises her to think again.
A tightly choreographed musical number complete with overhead shots, upright pub piano and 'knees up' Cockney dance routines echoing English film musicals from the 1960s. Delightful takes to camera draws the audience into the routine. But it's the three dancing 'girls', with Potter's take on gender stereotyping, who steal the show.
Music: 'Better Think Twice'. Carroll Gibbons and the Savoy Hotel Orpheans (with Vocal Refrain). Recorded 1934.
Dennis Potter's award-winning 'Pennies From Heaven' (BBC 1978). Directed by Piers Haggard, produced by long-time Potter collaborator Kenith Trodd, with choreography and design by Tudor Davies and Tim Harvey. One of the finest pieces of television the BBC has ever produced.

This is the first part of the infamous Dennis Potter drama that was only ever screened once way back in 1988. I recorded it on my clunky VHS player when it was broadcast on BBC2 and it has only taken 25 years to transfer it onto DVD and then onto YouTube! Dennis Potter was a genius and this is one of his rarely known or seen pieces of work. Glynis, Michael & co filmed this in Umbria, Italy in the summer of 1987 and apparently had an amazing filming experience in this beautiful part of the world. I believe it is easily the best quality work that Glynis has ever been offered and I really hope you enjoy this first part.

The South Bank Show Originals go out every Thursday at 9.30pm on Sky Arts HD.
We'll be showing re-worked classic episodes of the most high profile arts documentary series in the world alongside brand new episodes of the programme. Choosing from over 750 titles in the archive. we'll show 30 episodes each year, featuring new interviews and comments.
Presented, edited, and written by Melvyn Bragg, The South Bank Show has made one of the most significant contributions to arts broadcasting over the last thirty years, profiling the worlds most renowned performers, artists, actors, writers, and musicians.
The South Bank Show launched in 1978 with Paul McCartney as the opening subject. The show has famously sought to bring both audiences a mix of popular culture as well as high culture.
Over the course of thirty three years this attitude has characterised the show and who it focused on, featuring artists from Sir Laurence Olivier to k.d lang, Norman Mailer to Pavarotti, The Smiths to David Hockney, and David Lean, Rudolf Nureyev, and Harold Pinter.
Since arriving on Sky Arts in 2012, the South Bank Show has been as contemporaneous as ever, covering everything from the world of grime music with Dizzee Rascal and his mentor Wiley, to contemporary ballet, following Tamara Rojo in her first months as Artistic Director of the English National Ballet. The show has more recently profiled Tim Minchin, Alison Balsom, Pat Barker, David Hare, Nicola Benedetti, Nicholas Hytner, and Alfie Boe.
The South Bank Show Originals will join The South Bank Show itself and The South Bank Sky Arts Awards on Sky Arts, now in their 16th year.
