Considering moving away from having a smartphone and using an mp3 player and a little dumb phone for privacy reasons.

I'm too young to have watched it when it was broadcast. My Dad told me about it years ago. Eventually found it on archive.org and it blew me away. Surprised it isn't as widely known about. Pennies from Heaven is great too but didn't connect with me the way the Singing Detective did.

As fantastic as it was part of me wishes we got it the way Dennis Potter intended. The hospital scenes would have been shot on video tape in a studio like a sitcom of that era, the detective scenes would have been black and white film like a classic noir and the memory scenes would have been the only ones shot on colour film as the whole show was in the end.

Yea, I was going to ask about this. I'd heard people mention cider on US TV and it didn't seem like it was alcoholic, with kids drinking it etc. The non alcoholic version sounds shit tbh.

Talkin' 'bout dang ol' sweet dreams bitch

I'm not your buddy, guy!

Always fade out in a montage...

I'd sign that!

This one is real though.

Nope, I'm English and this song was fairly big here at the time too
