KARAOKE and COLD LAZARUS were two television dramas written by the acclaimed TV playwright Dennis Potter. Having been diagnosed with terminal cancer and with less than six months to live, Potter undertook a race against mortality to complete two television dramas which were uniquely to be shared between Channel 4 and the BBC. In a televised interview with Melvyn Bragg he said "My only regret is if I die four pages too soon." He didn’t – and the result is a fitting tribute to a life committed to the creation of some of the finest television drama ever written.

You might know "The Singing Detective" , written by Dennis Potter. This is another television drama by Dennis Potter, certainly as good as if not better than "The Singing Detective". The first part "Karaoke" takes place in contemporary Britain and is related to the second part which takes place in the future, roughly 347 years from now. Characteristics for Potter's scripts are all present in this one too : the melancholic music, the misty interweaving of dream and reality. It has a beautiful story with some of England's best actors. The second part "Cold Lazarus" is outstanding in it's design. The way they shaped the future is really beautiful. This box contains the English dvds : there are no subtitles. That didn't bother me: Potter doesn't use difficult language. It was worth the money: far more I would say.
