The first episode of The Singing Detective, Dennis Potter's original drama series, aired on 16 November 1986. The drama, in which Potter's non-naturalistic style was perfected, was directed by John Amiel and produced by Kenith Trodd. The cast featured a BAFTA Award winning performance from Michael Gambon, with support from Bill Paterson, Imelda Staunton, Joanne Whalley, Patrick Malahide, Alison Steadman, and Janet Suzman. The success of the drama was not compromised by the controversy surrounding a sex scene in episode three.
