Dennis Potter a life on screen

This book represents the first full-length examination of the work of the late, celebrated television playwright, Dennis Potter. Drawing upon a wealth of original research, including unpublished scripts, interviews with top film and television practitioners, as well as a rare interview with the writer himself, John Cook reveals for the first time the often astonishing array of themes which link together all of Potter's writing: from his early television plays in the 1960s right through to his final works in 1994. In so doing, Cook unravels a series of clues to the writer as rich and as fascinating as any that haunted the character Philip Marlow, in Potter's most celebrated television series, The Singing Detective.
