About this book

An accessible case study of television heritage, Remembering Dennis Potter Through Fans, Extras and Archive draws on the memories of fans and extras of Potter's productions. In providing insight into issues of visibility, memory and television production, it fulfils a vital need for better understanding of television production history as heritage.

Reviews

"This short book makes a persuasive case for television as the vehicle for the complexity of cultural memory and convincingly demonstrates the rich 'inheritability' of Potter's magnificent work." - Timothy Corrigan, University of Pennsylvania, USA
