Cardiac Arrest is a satirical comedy drama that follows the journey of Dr. Andrew Collin, a newly qualified houseman who arrives on the wards equipped only with theoretical knowledge and a sense of humour. Collin's idealism is immediately at odds with senior house officer Claire Maitland, a pragmatic and cynical physician determined to make him learn the hard way. This was the first series to truly evoke the chaos and black humour of life in a British hospital. It showed senior Doctors more interested in arranging golf matches than their patients and junior colleagues; skiving and gossiping nurses obsessed with bedding the dishiest doctors and disillusioned, exhausted junior doctors muddling through on vodka and practical jokes. Both lauded and rebuked by the medical profession, it was soon taken to heart by the viewing public.Starring Helen Baxendale (Cold Feet, Friends), Andrew Lancel (The Bill, Queer As Folk).

This witty and poignant story, starring the Oscar-winning Judi Dench, follows the small absurdities and major tragedies in the lives of the people of Cranford, as they are besieged by forces that they can't withstand. Cranford in the 1840s is a small northern English town on the cusp of change. Things are on the move. The railway is pushing its way relentlessly towards the town from Manchester, bringing fears of migrant workers and the breakdown of law and order. The arrival of a handsome new doctor from London causes a stir, not only because of his revolutionary medical methods, but also because of the effect he has on many of the ladies' hearts in the town. Three Gaskell novels have been woven together to create this uniquely rich and comic drama about ordinary human lives during one extraordinary year.

Starring: Michael Elphick, Robin Ellis, Colin Welland, Helen Mirren. "When we dream of childhood we take our present selves with us. It is not the adult world writ small; childhood is the adult world writ large" Dennis Potter. Dennis Potter's acclaimed television play - though the most straightforward and realistic of his popular works - is both an hilarious and incredibly moving story. Through the simple act of using adults in the roles, Potter was able to emphasise the darker aspects of children's innocence and imagination, creating an altogether more complex and ambivalent picture of that "land of lost content". On an odyllic summer afternoon in the summer of 1943, a group of children play in the West Country hills, fields and forests. With no adults around, they indulge in spontaneous games and horseplay - sometimes echoing the distant war, at other times revealing their own insecurities and petty vindictiveness. But as they tease, fantasise and fight the day away, their innocence is about to be destroyed forever... Originally transmitted 30/01/1979.

Starring: Denholm Elliott, Michael Kitchen, Patricia Lawrence. Dennis Potter's controversial drama was banned by the BBC for 11 years. A middle-aged couple (Denholm Elliot and Patricia Lawrence) are struggling to look after their daughter Pattie (Michelle Newell), who was left severely brain-damaged after what was thought to be a freak car accident. One typically fraught evening, the strained couple are visited by an overbearingly polite young man named Martin (Michael Kitchen), who claims to be a friend of Pattie's... DVD Extras: Did You See? from 25/08/87.

Starring: Frank Finlay, Norman Rossington The Italian adventurer and libertine Giovanni Jacopo Casanova lived from 1725 to 1798, but in this six-part series Dennis Potter attempted to find a contemporary relevance through his central themes of sex and religion. He commented that Casanova "was concerned with religious and sexual freedom, and these are the things we have to address ourselves to now." Casanova was imprisoned in Venice in 1755, and Potter used that event as a central device, constantly inter-cutting to contrast Casanova's amorous escapades, radiant, joyful and brightly lit, with his oppressive solitary confinement in the gloom of a half-darkened cell.
