Wonderful as The Singing Detective and Pennies From Heaven are, Dennis Potter's numerous one-off television plays often contained some of his greatest and most incisive writing. Such is arguably the case with his masterful take on the Cambridge Spies, Blade On The Feather (www.imdb.com/title/tt0080443/). The problem is they're almost impossible to find. I've already uploaded the dark, seamy fable Brimstone and Treacle and I soon plan to add the two politically-charged Nigel Barton plays, Son Of Man and Where Adam Stood as well. By hook or by crook, Dennis Potter will be brought back to life if it's the last thing I do! (I don't own any of the rights. This was once available on a limited edition Dutch boxset of three Potter plays, but that's been long out of print).
