Reviews for The Singing Detective - Complete Series
...about how the creative process is linked to memories, and how writing one's way through trauma may not erase it but provides a way of coping.
Michael Gambon gives the Jupiter Symphony of televised performances; sing praise for Dennis Potter's loving creation.
