From the rarely-repeated single plays to the popular serials, 16 of Potter's works are now available to buy as downloads from the newly launched BBC Store. Amongst the rarer gems are A Beast With Two Backs, Only Make Believe, and Schmoedipus. Each listing on the store is accompanied by a succint write up that includes the context of the play and connections to Potter's other works. This for example on Blackeyes : [extract] The violent and shamelessly ignorant attack on Potter that ensued corrupted his public image for years to come. Blackeyes is not an easy watch, and the circumstances of its creation inform it even more dangerously than those that fed into Double Dare, but now the tabloid hysteria has quelled, watch it again as a flawed but earnest work, ugly, tortured and raging against the hopelessness of its aims, and decide for yourself about it.
