Dennis Potter’s Final Interview
Here is a man of words, one of the great television dramatists of the 20th century, expressing himself with remarkable candour, sharing thoughts of unquestionable wisdom. What is stunning is the eloquence and clarity of thought, that soars above his physical challenges, intense pain, and the knowledge of being on the doorstep of death. The interview was recorded on 15 March, 1994: Potter passed away on 4 June that year.
