It ends with Daniel Feeld singing Pennies from Heaven and making a life changing decision.

For Dennis Potter his writing career elevated with the landmark BBC series Pennies from Heaven.

Potter tried to replay his greatest hits with Karaoke but it did not work. It is still a lot better than what many other writers can muster up.

Potter even sets up his final series, Cold Lazarus as a dying Feeld looks into preserving life in cyberspace.

There were some nice touches as an injured Nick Balmer confesses to his adultery and then reunites with his wife.

To me this would had been a sublime television movie. There was not enough for a four part serial.

It was wonderfully acted by Albert Finney and even in a brief cameo, Julie Christie shows why she is such a star.
