Synopsis
Marking the 10th anniversary of his death, Arena presents this feature-length profile. It charts his childhood, time at Oxford, bid for parliament and rise as a constant controversial TV dramatist who was loved and loathed in equal measure. As well as clips from 'The Singing Detective', 'Pennies from Heaven' and 'Blue Remembered Hills', Potter's three children and sister talk on screen for the first time about life with him.
