Blue Remembered Hills
Encyclopedia : B : BL : BLU : Blue Remembered Hills
Blue Remembered Hills is a television play by Dennis Potter, originally broadcast in 1979 as part of the BBC's Play for Today series.
The most striking feature about the play was that the characters were children, but were played by adult actors and actresses. The stars of the original production included Robin Ellis and Helen Mirren.
The script has also been adapted for the theatre and, as such, remains one of Dennis Potter's best known and most successful plays.
The title comes from the poem 'XL' in A.E. Housman's A Shropshire Lad.
