Tucked away, on a dusty bookshelf behind more serious tomes on economics and politics I keep a few items with sentimental attachment. Last night I remembered a booklet, part of the ‘Great Interviews of the 20th Century’ series given away by the Guardian in 2007. Its 1994 and Dennis Potter is dying of cancer. He’s interviewed by Melvyn Bragg, and with the fearlessness of a man unburdened (“I can break any rule now”), speaks about life and living without fear.
