'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.
Arthur Parker - cowardly and dishonest, with a fistful of dreams and an eye for the ladies - is a sheet-music salesman in 1930s Britain. Frustrated by his frigid wife and cynical shopkeepers, he looks to a desperate romance and a life-affirming immorality to reach the fantasy world of the songs.

Starring Bob Hoskins, Cheryl Campbell, Hywel Bennett, Peter Bowles, Gemma Craven, Ronald Fraser, Nigel Havers, Freddie Jones, Peter Cellier, and Kenneth Colley.
