Two Dennis Potter television screenplays. In Karaoke , a dying writer more than half-imagines that something he has written has escaped into the world outside. Cold Lazarus is set 400 years in the future, where a cryogenically preserved head is being commercially exploited.

A paperback reissue of the text of the play by Dennis Potter.

The television screenplay of Potter's play with music, in six parts , which was first broadcast in 1978. Set in the 1930s, it concerns the amorous and geographical wanderings of a travelling sheet-music salesman, who is both fortunate and unfortunate enough to believe in the songs in his suitcase.

Dennis Potter, British playwright, novelist and film-maker, talks about the early influences that shaped him and his career in this book that looks at Potter's pioneering use of non-naturalism, his self-reflexive subversion of film and TV cliches and his approach to sex, politics and religion.

Dennis Potter was born and brought up in the Forest of Dean. First published in 1962, this is Potter's deeply personal study of that small area - its people, traditions, ceremonies and institutions - at a time of profound cultural and social change in the late 1950s and early '60s.
