The following set of pages contains transcripts from an interview which took place on 10th May 1990 between John Cook and Dennis Potter.

Parts of this interview have been used in John Cook's book "Dennis Potter: A Life on Screen" published by Manchester University Press in 1995 (and in its second edition in 1998). John allowed me to publish the early extracts on this site in 1999 and since then extracts have appeared as an appendix to The Passion of Dennis Potter, an international collection of essays on Potter, edited by Vernon Gras and John Cook.

A preface to these interviews, written by Dr. John Cook especially for this web site and based on his introduction to Gras, V. & Cook, J. (eds. (2000), may be accessed by clicking here.

If you wish to hear audio versions of these extracts, they are now available in mp3 format here.
