- After a brief tutelage with innovative BBC documentary producer Denis Mitchell, Dennis Potter teamed with producer Anthony de Lotbiniere to film a documentary (later described by David Niven as "absolutely wonderful"). Returning to the Berry Hill roots of his childhood, Potter used interviews with locals (including his parents) to show changes in the working-class traditions of the Forest of Dean, where "the green forest has a deep black heart beneath its sudden hills, pushing up slag heaps and gray little villages clustering around the coal."
- Profile of the man who in the 1980s, spent the equivalent of 5 years in the UK singles chart, had more hits in Britain than Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, and Madonna, and reached the Top 30 no less than 30 times. He entered the Guinness Book of Hit Singles and Albums, following The Beatles for the 1960s, and Elton John for the 1970s, by becoming the biggest selling UK artist of a decade. But these achievements are never celebrated. This film changes that.
