Product Description
Considered one of the most important figures in the history of British television, Dennis Potter (The Singing Detective, Pennies from Heaven) created numerous widely-acclaimed television dramas. Powerful and often controversial, his groundbreaking works continue to enthrall audiences worldwide. Dennis Potter: 3 To Remember showcases three exquisite but rarely-seen teleplays shot on location and specifically produced for London Weekend Television.
Blade on the Feather (Original UK Broadcast: 10/19/80)
Jason (Donald Pleasence), a reclusive author, is visited by Daniel (Tom Conti), a young admirer, but both men are more than they claim to be. After Daniel seduces Jason’s daughter, dark secrets are unearthed.
Rain on the Roof (Original UK Broadcast: 10/26/80)
Disturbed by her husband’s infidelity, Janet (Cheryl Campbell) flirts with her simple reading student Billy (Ewan Stewart). Unfortunately, her advances trigger aggressive behavior in Billy, putting her and her husband in danger.
Cream in my Coffee (Original UK Broadcast: 11/2/80)
Past and present intertwine between the early 1930s - where a young couple Bernard (Peter Chelsom) and June (Shelagh McLeod) are having a pre-marital fling, and the present - where the same couple, now elderly (played by Lionel Jeffries and Peggy Ashcroft), revisit the Grand Hotel in Eastbourne, the scene of their blossoming romance.
Also Includes: Dennis Potter: The Last Interview
Broadcast in April 1994, this Channel 4 television special was recorded only three months prior to Potter’s death and features the dramatist candidly discussing his life and career with interviewer Melvyn Bragg.

Dennis Potter created several widely acclaimed British TV dramas, including “The Singing Detective” and “Pennies From Heaven.” “Dennis Potter: 3 to Remember” is a box set featuring a trio of 1980 dramas produced by Potter for London Weekend Television. “Cream in My Coffee” tells the story of an elderly couple (Lionel Jeffries, Peggy Ashcroft) who return to the hotel where they began their affair in the early 1930’s. “Blade on the Feather” stars Donald Pleasance as a reclusive, elderly author living a quiet life with his wife and daughter. The household is soon turned upside down when a young man (Tom Conti) proclaiming to be a longtime admirer shows up for a visit. Neither the author nor the admirer are really who they say they are, and a secret world of British espionage is revealed. In “Rain on the Roof,” a bored, sexually frustrated housewife (Cheryl Campbell) flirts with Billy, a mentally challenged young man, but her advances trigger aggressive behavior in Billy directed toward her philandering husband. The one extra in the three-disc set is the last interview with Dennis Potter, recorded three months before his death.Search Amazon.com: Dennis Potter: 3 to Remember: Donald Pleasence, Tom Conti, Peggy Ashcroft, Michael Culver, Phoebe Nicholls, Malcolm Stoddard, Tony Wharmby, Kika Markham, Gavin Millar, Richard Loncraine, Alan Bridges: Movies & TV from AmAzon
