The Singing Detective | Dennis Potter

#madeintoamovie Here's a batch of film noirs / thrillers. You can never go wrong with Chandler or Cain, but I say Dennis Potter's The Singing Detective (more a teleplay) is the best TV show ever made. The BBC one with Michael Gambon and not the horrible film remake with R. Downey Jr. The visuals may be dated now, but the story is unbelievably well told. Wide emotions from funny to dark to brooding to heart-wrenching. Watch it, u won't be sorry.

wonga love the Femmes Fatale editions💕 8y
[DELETED] 3323341091 The Singing Detective is great! The Hustler is well done too. 8y
squarepeginroundhole After my blurb, I was curious to see if I could watch it online. And yes, it's on YouTube. This was so hard to get to back in the day in the US until DVDs came out. Here's a nice intro or review I found too: 8y
Dragon I totally agree about the original version of Singing Detective! 8y
