Pennies from Heaven

Pennies From Heaven is a 1978 BBC television drama serial by the highly-regarded television playwright Dennis Potter. The title is taken from a famous song of the same name written by Johnny Burke and Arthur Johnston. It was noteworthy for being the first of several Potter productions (The Singing Detective, Lipstick on Your Collar) which mixed the reality of the drama with a dark fantasy content, having several of the main characters burst into miming to popular 1930s songs (such as "Pennies From Heaven").

Joanie, sugar?

Come on, Joan.

Sugar?

:02:46

- Wake up, baby.
- No, Arthur, don't.

:02:48

- Oh, baby. Come on, sugar.
- No. It's too early, Arthur.

:02:52

- Oh, Joanie, wake up.
- I'm not awake.

:02:55

Arthur, there isn't time.

:02:57

- There's always time for this, Joan.
- No. Stop it. Arthur, no. Don't.

:03:01

I said, no!

:03:03

Why not? Why not, Joan?

:03:06

You said you wanted to get away early.
That's what you said.

:03:11

You never want to, do you? Never.

:03:13

- Fix the coffee, will you, darling?
- Goddamn coffee.

:03:17

- Arthur.
- Listen, Joan, don't you understand?

:03:20

I'm going to be away from home
for four days and nights.

:03:23

- There's no need to swear, is there?
- That's not much of a cuss.

:03:27

I don't think it's very nice, Arthur,
especially in your own home.

:03:32

You don't give me a chance.
You gotta give me a chance.

:03:37

I don't know what you mean, Arthur.
