Dennis Potter's award-winning series. Michael Gambon stars as the unsuccessful writer who, whilst lying in a hospital bed suffering from a very bad case of psoriasis, escapes from his misery by 'dreaming' about one of his own pulp thrillers along with some of his childhood memories. A mixture of fantasy, reality and hit songs from the 1940s.
