The unconventional TV drama gave the late, great actor, who died last week, his defining role. It blazed a trail – and stands as one of the greatest British series ever made, argues Adam Scovell.With the death of Irish actor Sir Michael Gambon last week, it was inevitable that headlines celebrating his life and career were to be dominated by associations with various"Potters".
Blurring the line between reality and fiction, the narrative unfolds in several parallel worlds, with the noir-inspired detective story interwoven with Marlow's real-life struggles in hospital, his own childhood and a variety of incidents in his life over which he feels the guilt.
Perhaps due to being the author, with full knowledge of the real memories being replayed, Potter himself saw the play in simpler terms. Interviewed by John J O'Connor for The New York Times in 1988,as"a detective story about how you find out about yourself, how an event has lodged inside you and affects how you see things…". Potter often found the most surreal ways to explore deeply personal themes.
Arguably, the most striking thing about Potter's work, epitomised by The Singing Detective, is how the writer made such deeply personal, often troubling aspects of his life feel so relatable to an everyday audience. He showed that, in drama, the personal could retain its peculiarity, while the uniqueness of personal experience could still be translated into a universally appealing work, if the artist was ambitious and talented enough, that is. Luckily, Potter was both.
