More Karaoke (1996) Notes

Hywel Bennet manages to say the name "Linda" in an even creepier way than those actors on the tv screen in Fahrenheit 451 (1966).

According to this article from when the series was first aired, Ian McDiarmid was cast in a small role specifically because he looked a lot like Dennis Potter. Except thirty years later I'm thinking "Woah, it's Senator Palpatine!"

It turns out that the famous Melvyn Bragg interview with Potter is on Youtube, and you know what, I can see the resemblance.
