Born on this date in 1935, Dennis Christopher George Potter was an English television dramatist, screenwriter and journalist. He is best known for his BBC TV serials Pennies from Heaven, The Singing Detective, and the television plays Blue Remembered Hills and Brimstone and Treacle. 10 quotes:

  2. I think childhood is to everyone a lost land.
  3. It is a dangerous thing to have instant access to your emotions.
  4. You have to assert something about yourself in order to be yourself.
  5. The nowness of everything is absolutely wondrous.
  6. I was given talent, and if you are given it, it is your obligation to use it.
  7. A writer helps to show you things you knew but didn't know you knew.
  8. The thing about imagination is that by the very act of putting it down, there must be some truth in one's own imagination.
  9. People endure what they endure and they deal with it. It may corrupt them. It may lead them into all sorts of compensatory excesses.
  10. The loss of Eden is personally experienced by every one of us as we leave the wonder and magic and also the pains and terrors of childhood.

Closing the Circle

A stable wormhole has been established between Earth and Infinitus. Power Blaster and his friends can finally go home.

Desi Troyes is still at large on Earth - Power Blaster has vowed to bring him to justice. His wedding to Shanna is under threat as the Desperadoes launch an attempt to rescue their leader. 
Someone from Power Blaster's past plays an unexpected and significant role in capturing Troyes.

The return home brings its own challenges. Not everyone can return to the life they left behind, and for some, there is unfinished business to be dealt with before they can start anew.

Ben Cole in particular cannot resume his old life as a surgeon because technology no longer works around him. He plans a new life in Classica, away from technology. Shanna hears there could be a way to reverse his condition and sets out to find it, putting herself in great danger. She doesn't know she is about to uncover the secret of Power Blaster's mysterious past.
