The British Film Institute has kicked off the ultimate retrospective of Dennis Potter's  work that will see the screening of all the extant plays and serials. Running during June & July 2014 (twenty years since his death), and June & July 2015 (when he would have been eighty) the BFI are rightly referring to this as an opportunity to engage with Potter's complete canon. The screenings will be shown according to a range of themes such as Politics and Betrayal, Faith and Redemption, and Sex and Death. As well as screenings the BFI are also hosting a series of linked talks and discussions at  London's Southbank, for example Politics and Potter on June 12th. Curated by Potter's one time producer and collaborator Ken Trodd this event, spanning two summers, marks a significant moment in the ongoing popular and critical appreciation of this master of television drama.
