- Karaoke and Cold Lazarus were the final two serials to be written by Dennis Potter before his death, and were the result of an unusual collaboration between the BBC and Channel 4 — the two broadcasters who had been most closely associated with Potter's works over the years.
Episodes of Karaoke were first broadcast on BBC1, with a repeat the following night on Channel 4. Cold Lazarus, the sequel to Karaoke, was first broadcast on Channel 4 with episodes being repeated on BBC1 the following night.
The script book contains Dennis Potter's original scripts to all eight episodes of Karaoke and Cold Lazarus. However, our interest here is limited to Cold Lazarus, which was set in the year 2368.
