Description
Release Date: 31 May 2004
Pennies From Heaven, a six-part drama series written by Dennis Potter received great popular and critical acclaim, including the BAFTA Award for Outstanding Drama, when it was first transmitted on BBC TV in 1978. It was voted number 21 in the BFI's Top 100 TV programmes.
