Dennis Potter's Forest of Dean: Cummings Your Way

Dan Cummings sojourns into the Forest of Dean to meditate upon the works of Dennis Potter and how it made him worship at the high altar of television. He visits key locations from his life, and considers Potter's impact upon him, from Pennies from Heaven's 30s masterpiece, and up to his Melvyn Bragg interview: luminous, phosphorescent , and transparent with the power and light of impending death.
Thanks Dennis, this one's for you.

Need to revisit all of Potter. He was so influential to the younger me. Thank you Dan, I'm very glad to know that you were there and that you're somewhere else now. Thank you.

The most spectacular and philosophical episode yet. Love it.

Thanks for this.
I remember seeing Dennis Potter's *Vote Vote Vote For Nigel Barton* on BBC TV then reading his book *The Glittering Coffin*.
I was still at school and I bought a Penguin paperback edition of *Border Country* by Raymond Williams which carried a glowing Potter review.
