"Remembering Dennis Potter Through Fans, Extras and Archives" is the first book to address a key figure from film or television from this multi-directional perspective. The memories produced by fans, extras and production archives become pivotal to media heritage. These personal and production memories are unique within screen history and offer scholars of television, media history, sociology, drama, regional studies, museology and heritage management a valuable insight into how members of the public provide institutions with deep and affective responses to media as heritage. The role of 'personal memory' in the production of television heritage is a new and exciting addition to our understanding of how TV was made
