Today I've been watching Dennis Potter's TV series 'The Singing Detective' on DVD. IMHO it is one of the 3 most important programmes to be broadcast during the eighties, perhaps 'ever' (the other two are of course: The Edge of Darkness and Boys from the Blackstuff).
The Singing Detective is a masterpiece, note perfect from beginning to end, enjoyable on loads of different levels, in fact it's was TV should be like (all the time) in an ideal world. Sadly we don't live in that idea world, and I've almost given up on TV altogether. Sad really, but Dennis reminds what real TV is all about.
