He is best known for his BBC TV serials Pennies from Heaven (1978), The Singing Detective (1986), and the television plays Blue Remembered Hills (1979) and Brimstone and Treacle (1976). His television dramas mixed fantasy and reality, the personal and the social, and often used themes and images from popular culture. Potter is widely regarded as one of the most influential and innovative dramatists to have worked in British television.\n\nBorn in Gloucestershire and graduating from Oxford University, Potter initially worked in journalism. After standing for parliament as a Labour candidate at the 1964 general election, his health was affected by the onset of psoriatic arthropathy which necessitated Potter changing careers and led to him becoming a television dramatist. His new career began with contributions to the BBC's Wednesday Play anthology series in 1965, and he continued to work in the medium for the rest of his life. He also wrote screenplay adaptations for the Hollywood studios. He died of pancreatic cancer in 1994.","1935-05-17","1994-06-07",2,null,54349,"nm0693259","Writing","Dennis Potter","Berry Hill, UK",0.9997,"\u002Foiymzgh2XvUZVNjqIarbBW1il06.jpg",{"cast":19,"crew":128},[20,37,50,61,76,86,102,114],{"adult":4,"backdrop_path":10,"genre_ids":21,"id":24,"title":25,"original_language":26,"original_title":25,"overview":27,"popularity":28,"poster_path":29,"release_date":30,"softcore":4,"video":4,"vote_average":31,"vote_count":32,"character":33,"credit_id":34,"order":35,"media_type":36},[22,23],10770,99,488040,"An Interview with Dennis Potter","en","Dennis Potter a television dramatist talks about his work, politics and his fears for both.",1.0642,"\u002Ffae2chPOaSCqFvsOn9pqQqMtpE3.jpg","1994-11-19",10,1,"Himself","5a12010692514138f9058efb",0,"movie",{"adult":4,"backdrop_path":10,"genre_ids":38,"id":39,"title":40,"original_language":26,"original_title":40,"overview":41,"popularity":42,"poster_path":43,"release_date":44,"softcore":4,"video":45,"vote_average":46,"vote_count":32,"character":47,"credit_id":48,"order":49,"media_type":36},[23],542955,"Visions of Heaven and Hell","Dennis Potter, Esther Dyson, William Gibson and other techno-thinkers appeared in this award-winning three-part documentary series which examined social changes brought about by new information technologies, along with other issues and dilemmas facing society in the 21st Century.",1.7778,"\u002F7ydCwZli80g9QqeUOUuGzILa8ZV.jpg","1994-01-31",true,9,"Self","5e090877d285af001193656e",5,{"adult":4,"backdrop_path":10,"genre_ids":51,"id":52,"title":53,"original_language":26,"original_title":53,"overview":54,"popularity":55,"poster_path":56,"release_date":57,"softcore":4,"video":4,"vote_average":58,"vote_count":49,"character":59,"credit_id":60,"order":35,"media_type":36},[23],395263,"Between Two Rivers","After a brief tutelage with innovative BBC documentary producer Denis Mitchell, Dennis Potter teamed with producer Anthony de Lotbiniere to film a documentary (later described by David Niven as \"absolutely wonderful\").
