Isn't it funny to think of how odd it seemed just four years ago to show family dramas on Saturdays? Ta, Russell!<BR/><BR/>Si - I don't know if it's apocryphal but there is a story that Potter pitched a story to Verity Lambert not long after Dotor Who started, which involved a fantasist charcater who believed he could travel through time. But he was rejected!Stuart Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077118568073419361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6967549064493559707.post-13237963471091359692008-09-21T14:44:00.000+01:002008-09-21T14:44:00.000+01:00Stuart - there must be some mistake.

I watched Pennies From Heaven again recently (my favourite Potter) - still just as powerful. David's right - the interview is fascinating as is the whole Cold Lazarus cross channel that they did - who else could have pulled that off?Mr Simon Allen...https://www.blogger.com/profile/15494705374384120381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6967549064493559707.post-72648999580457716632008-09-21T13:16:00.000+01:002008-09-21T13:16:00.000+01:00Hi StuartDennis Potter was certainly a one-off.

His interview with Melvin Bragg just before he died is amazing.<BR/>Did you happen to see 'Merlin'? I really enjoyed it and hope it succeeds. Russel T Davies rescued Saturday nights from Ant and Dec- they can't have it back!David Lemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12796156061032337644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6967549064493559707.post-22453910776110706682008-09-19T11:51:00.000+01:002008-09-19T11:51:00.000+01:00There are people who don't know there's a Red Plan...There are people who don't know there's a Red Planet competition?
