Dennis Potter on TV over Christmas

[TinyTimsGang]

A Dennis Potter season starts over Christmas - can't wait, hooray! It's been a while coming though. I know he's one of those writers you either love or hate - personally I love his work. Anyone else?

Oh I'm so - not in the UK so can't see it. I love his stuff , Singing Detective is my favourite.

Dennis Potter's play of lost youth and innocence begins with the excellent adult cast playing children's games in a lyrical summer landscape. But soon the games of hide-and-seek and war take on a sinister aspect as the children's behaviour begins to mirror the violence and callousness of the grown-up world.

Directed by: Gavin Millar

Helen Mirren, Colin Welland, Michael Elphick
