On 5 April 1994, Dennis Potter was interviewed by Melvyn Bragg on Channel 4 Television. It was a broadcast of great poignancy and power: Dennis Potter knew he only had a few weeks to live. Their conversation records Potter's honest dissection of his life and work. Frank, amusing and moving, this inspirational and unique testament is one of the defining moments of television history.

Seeing the Blossom also contains Dennis Potter's celebrated James MacTaggart Memorial lecture at the Edinburgh Film Festival in 1993 and an earlier BBC2 TV interview. This new edition includes Potter's final piece of work, 'Last Pearls', a mordant and witty short story written in 1994 for the Daily Telegraph.
