Here’s the full version of Dennis Potter’s final interview in 1994, with Melvyn Bragg, when the auteur was dying and would interrupt the conversation periodically for a hit of morphine. Because the Singing Detective became such a sensation in the 1980s, he was often linked to the leading American TV producer of the day, Steven Bochco, which galled Potter. He HATED Bochco’s work, and when the two were joined by seminars, he would tell his counterpart exactly that to his face.
