| | Dennis Potter: The Very Age ... Chapter 3 |
 | | By the year 2368 in Potter's prophetic, satiric, and in many respects polemic, valediction, Cold Lazarus, the breaks between production, creation and consumption are no longer simply 'hard' to discern but, for the general population - the 'masses' - seemingly impossible. |
 | | As it is said that 'all parallel lines meet in space' with Karaoke and Cold Lazarus we do seem to reach a point of seemingly infinite convergence as the two teleplays, Potter's life, Potter's work and Potter's world reach out of and into each other creating a veritable 'mass' of connections, tensions, significations and ambiguities. |
 | | During the course of Cold Lazarus what we witness is Daniel's desperate struggle to retain control of his story, literally affecting his memories and rewriting his own past. |
