I can’t argue with that. I think looking back it was helpful as the perspective I got on Potter because of Blackeyes put a question mark against the male-dominated television drama I’d previously been a bit dumb about.

I hadn't seen Blackeyes since it's original broadcast, and remembering the hopeless contemporary press coverage I was hoping for a revelation. But it really isn't very good at all, mainly due to Potter's mad directorial choices killing the thing stone dead.

"In places, Blackeyes comes perilously close to being Eskimo Nell with a first from Oxford."

A very good Year of Listing Dangerously this weekend. Deep knowledge always in the service of very good jokes. My favourite writing about television this year.

They were more concerned with the blackeyes at the time. But all turned out well :)

I've seen the You Tube vids claiming Funko Pops are not cool anymore, going out of business blah blah. But I simply could not resist buying Xena on sale for $7+ change. I'd love it if they hung in there, and changed the face sculpts to actually look like the character instead of blank blackeyes

I realise that my teenage self probably didn’t altogether understand or comprehend the complexities of what Dennis Potter was attempting to do with objectification and the male gaze and probably Sartre’s ‘The Look’ but I think I got SOMETHING out of watching Blackeyes in 1989…

And at one of those should probably be illogical, with no connection to the dog's name, breed, appearance ... but just because he's adored.

Colin Jeavons howling "Spit on me!" in BLACKEYES has squatted immovably in my memory for decades.

Just checked - Colin Jeavons is STILL alive and it was his birthday yesterday.

I thought she was best known for being naked in Blackeyes, so glad she's better known for actual acting now.
