Ironic that George Cole was playing the father (Denholm Elliott's role) in the stage production, as I believe Elliott was the original choice for Arthur Daley in Minder. P.S. I seem to recognise Richard O'Callaghan from Carry On At Your Convenience!

I thoroughly enjoy Mr Leary's humor as well as the cadence of his voice... the peterman...

💚I prefer this version in comparison to tv version with Kitchen in it. In my relatively humble opinion, Kitchen always plays Kitchen.

Isn’t it ironic they banned this art . Whilst what we know now what was happening with Saville and so many others paid by the BBC

Pennys from heaven is a classic

It was so much about nationalism - loved the scene when the devil agrees with the farther on racism and gets excited at how far it goes ie full on holocaust

B& T on TH-cam atm not sure how long enjoy . The writing is phenomenal

Nowadays MSM, BBC et al, has gone into complete censorship. The Controllers, etc, were never great thinkers. The idiocy they display is just of exerting personal power regardless of any rationale. Interestingly, they still go in for 'last minute cancellation' as their favourite weapon against 'free speech.'

As we step into the Sacred, Hallowed rooms of The Church of Ego. Welcome.

Dennis Potter was fabulous

"You turn yourself from a citizen to a consumer" -- rings ever truer today, sadly!

I think Dennis Potter would be outraged and disgusted by British TV today. There's no room in the schedules for controversial and truly thought-provoking drama. Everything Potter protested against in the 1990s is magnified by triple figures through the television of today. The slow death of TV from yesteryear is the stone cold death of TV today. Nothing speaks to me in todays vacuous and dumb down TV landscape. The betrayal is complete ...

It’s a incendiary piece of work. A total belter. I wish there was a modern “play for today” or just more single television plays like Mr. Potter wrote. Moonlight on the highway is another brilliant one as well as all the obvious stuff. Mr. Potter’s interview with Melvyn Bragg, his final interview is one of the greatest, most beautiful statements about life & work & England that there has ever been. He was a great writer, truly great. He is sorely missed

Why did they ban that play?

It was absolutely a religious play. In the same way that something like oranges are not the only fruit was. Potter himself said it’s a bad biblical story about a beleaguered house. If an angel comes to free the afflicted, that’s just sanctimony. If it’s a devil, therein lies the point. & as the invalid daughter is revived by a terrible vile, beastly act, her cry of protestation is not against the violation, or the useless efforts of prayer, but against her father. It’s a lightning bolt of a play. Necessary & still hugely valid now.

Thank you...

Nowadays a cartoon in a magazine is enough to trigger outrage and even violence. How times change

Michael Kitchen was outstanding as Martin in the TV BBC play.

😇❤❤❤😇

😇🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😇

It's called timidity, some elements within the bbc have a kind of Daily Mail attitude towards some aspects of the Arts, in this case Drama..really it boils down to pandering to the sensibilities of the dumb and unthinking, which is a shame..

🙏🏻 Thank you for posting this!

The Ref is my families Thanksgiving after Dinner Movie every year, Gus is one of my favorite Characters in all movies 😎

Clarkson ..like a fish on a barbecue !!

Love Rescue Me! Everyone on that show was crazy! Tommy's not a bad guy. He just had a lot of shit happen to him.

Imagine liking Michael McIntyre. imagine the shame.

Brooklyn girl here....... Dennis is the best.....real, intense, funny as shit, smart....lets not forget....i can look at him with red suspenders......🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Very bright....❤️❤️ A Rockstar.....who keeps on rockin🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

So sad that this only has 14 K views after 11 years...Cardi B gets a billion views..There is no god.

Genius.

I like Denis as a writer and director as well as actor. Laughed my ass off at No Cure in my teens. But it should be noted he stole a lot of his act from Bill Hicks as well as Louis CK.

THE REF. I love you Denis.

Verry hard to say anything beautifull enough for this wonderfull man, respect Dennis❤ .

I love this sonofabitch!

"They were all 6ft 5 big men that knew how to box or played rugby"....that's what we need today, police officers that can man handle people if needed, instead of all these 5ft 10st women and gender neutral weaklings that are no use at all when it comes to stopping some violent criminal....i pray that we can one day go back to the days when common sense is more important than feelings and being politically correct.

Rescue Me brilliant , would never get made today , so not PC thankfully

Rob a bank and get 14-28 years…fiddle with a child get 10 years out in 4-5….tells you all about what matters in the British establishment, it’s all money! VILE

Flying squard is corrupt period.

Look what we have now. No size requirements, no powers, no backing by bosses or the Government, no respect. In those recent past days the detectives were very effective, villains were scared of them, and respected them. That's all disappeared now. Those old detectives must be laughing at rainbow flags, gender bullshit, zero practical effectiveness, like the rest of the sensible population. Villains do as they please now with impunity.

What about the sandlot

In the old days u still had respect for the police if u got knicked u took it on the chin no hate towards the police

These where the real deal flying squad hit hard but organised crime took control of the government thsts why we have no police stations and colour tvs in jail its like going on hoilday

I love those Smith and Wesson Model 10's the pre 1990's flying squad used. Proper cops and robbers stuff with those .38s.

When he talks about Tommy on Rescue Me it reminds me of A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream where the characters on the show watch their behavior get acted out in a play within a play at the end and they don’t make the connection that the things happening on stage mirror what has been happening in real life. Then Puck makes a statement to the audience watching saying that if they see nothing in this play that mirrors their own lives than the joke’s on them.

Danny wollard I he guy done JOB WITH GARY WILSON AND WAA SHOOT OUT 2 INJURED AND BIG MAN GOT KILLED HE HAD TO LITTLE KIDDIES HE WAS BRINGING UP BY HIMSELF ?? THAT WAS SAD STORY THEY GOT FUCKIN SNITCHED ABOUT JOB BY GUY RAYMOND (SMETHG) AT TIME ???

AND YES LIFES BEEN HARD FOR PAST YEARS CAUSE NOT MUCH JOB CHANCES AS EX CROOK BUT LEAST BEEN THERE EVERYDAY FOR MY 2 GIRLS THATS WORTH MORE THAN ANY MONEY CAN BUY SWEAR GOD ...

What a very sad indictment of human nature when people cheer after hearing that a police officer had been shot in the head. Thankfully and miraculously the bullet ricocheted off his temple and he was OK.

O’Connor was one of the worst, he just slipped through. The man is a rotten apple always has been

one of the best series, i have ever watched. whenever someone asks me, what my favourite tv program is, i always say "rescue me".

One of Vangelis' best tracks. Emotive, and powerful, leaving the mystery of the future open.

I'm an Audi fan but this car put the Audi to shame.

but what I really wanna know is - "Do Androids dream of electric sheep?"
