Hello All! Once again I write here my playlist for the week and by jingo what a playlist! It just keeps getting better every week! Keep them coming in guys! My 80s TV recommendation for this week is The Singing Detective (1986), an fantastic 6 part BBC drama written by the late Dennis Potter! Worth a watch for those that love complex TV dramas! Also included in my recommendation is Brimstone & Treacle, also by Dennis Potter, originally made in 1976, but not transmitted until 1987 on BBC One for its supposedly unsuitable content! Both of these titles are available to buy from bbcshop.com! ttp://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/images/B000198ABQ/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=283926&s=dvd http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/images/B0001P1BA2/sr=1-2/qid=1205076597/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=283926&s=dvd&qid=1205076597&sr=1-2 Here is my playlist for this week! ☺!!!!!!
