Additional InformationDennis Potter's popular and highly acclaimed TV drama--it won the BAFTA for Outstanding Drama when it first aired in 1978--follows the life of sheet-music salesman Arthur Parker in 1930s Britain. Bob Hoskins plays Parker, a man with a passion for the ladies, and his product, who leads a frustrated life with a frigid wife and uninspired music clients. He retreats into a fantasy world inspired by the songs he's selling, bursting into full-blown music and dance set pieces. Things take a downturn when he meets a young teacher called Eileen with whom he shares a love of music. She falls pregnant by him, but discovering that he's married disappears from his life. Potter's superb series, full of period detail, wit and charm that showers the viewer like PENNIES FROM HEAVEN.
