Signed by BOB HOSKINS (as Arthur)
This DVD was signed by Bob following a theatre performance at the Playhouse Theatre in London, 2006.

PENNIES FROM HEAVEN (1978 480 minutes) Dennis Potter's astonishing six-part miniseries Pennies from Heaven
remains one of the edgiest, most audacious things ever conceived for
television.
The story tells of one Arthur Parker (Bob Hoskins), a
sheet-music salesman in 1930s England. Beaten down by economic hard
times and the sexual indifference of his proper wife (Gemma Craven),
Arthur cannot understand why his life can't be like the beautiful songs
he loves. On a sales trip through the Forest of Dean, he meets a
virginal rural woman (Cheryl Campbell) he suspects may be his ideal.
Ruination follows. Punctuating virtually every scene is a vintage pop
song, lip-synched and sometimes danced out by the characters. This
startling innovation makes the contrast between Arthur's brutish life
and his bourgeois dreams even more dramatic.
Potter's dark vision
digs into British stoicism, sexual repression, the class system and
even the coming of fascism in Europe. But it is especially poignant on
the subject of the divide between art and reality.
Bob Hoskins triumphs in his star-making part, bringing a demonic energy
to his small-time Cockney, nearly bursting his button-down vests with
frustration and appetite.
BOB HOSKINS is an English actor, known for playing Cockney rough diamonds, psychopaths and gangsters, in films such as The Long Good Friday (1980) and Mona Lisa (1986) and lighter roles in Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) and Hook (1991).
After beginning his acting career on the London stage in the late
1960s, Hoskins first gained wide attention in the original BBC
television serial version of Dennis Potter's Pennies From Heaven as sheet music salesman Arthur Parker as well as a production of Othello.
Hoskins' performances in British films such as The Long Good Friday won him the wider approval of the critics and an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.
Hoskins' first appearance to mainstream American audiences was in Who Framed Roger Rabbit for which he received a second Golden Globe nomination.
The DVD BOX SET that Bob and Peter have signed is BRAND NEW, still in Mint Condition (only opened for them to sign) and has never been played.
