Inside the Mind of Dennis Potter5
If you like psychological drama and music from the 1930's and 1940's, then you will love The Singing Detective. It never got much air play in the United States but was quite popular in England. The story takes place in a hospital ward and there are frequent flashbacks to the author's childhood and frequent forays into the writer's imaginative world. There is a brilliant blurring of fantasy and reality that keeps you guessing about the outcome right to the end. This was a miniseries so it is over six hours long but worth every minute.

We have yet to watch Pennies from Heaven but expect it to be good too.
