TV fiction > Drama Description "Dennis Potter's final two serials were Karaoke and Cold Lazarus (two related stories, both starring Albert Finney as the same principal character, one set in the present and the other in the far future). They were aired posthumously in the United Kingdom as part of a rare collaboration between the BBC and rival Channel 4 in accordance with Potter's wishes. KARAOKE 4 parts x ~50 minutes each BBC1, 28 April to 19 May 1996 Karaoke's main character is Daniel Feeld, played by Albert Finney. Feeld is a writer, and is supervising the editing of a play called Karaoke that he wrote for broadcast. He starts to hear and experience events in the play in real life, and meets a character, called Pig Mailion (a pun on Pygmalion) that he thought he had invented. At the same time Feeld has been diagnosed with an inoperable tumour and begins to make preparations to have his head frozen by cryonics."

In a distant dystopian future, researchers study the cryonically-preserved head of Daniel Feeld, a twentieth-century writer, attempting to extract and record his memories in a form that can be broadcast as the latest version of reality television. As they seek out the writer's most explicit and painful (and therefore most marketable) memories, one of the researchers becomes convinced that the head is regaining consciousness during their experiments. Meanwhile, beyond the laboratory, other forces gather.
