BBC is doing a season of Dennis Potter plays at present, I watched the first half of "Pennies from heaven" last night.
Absolutely brilliant! This is what TV should be all about, entertaining AND informing.
During the 60s and 70s the "PLay for today" and "Wednesday Play" series' were a big subject of discussion in the workplace and in the pub. People discussed relationships, politics, religion, homelessness and I think TV at that time actually changed society for the better.

Now its all about self promotion, violence and tits and bums.
(Dont mind the tits and bums)...Ake
