Dennis Potter's PENNIES FROM HEAVEN
Signed by BOB HOSKINS (as Arthur)

This DVD was signed by Bob following a theatre performance at the Playhouse Theatre in London, 2006.
The DVD is also signed on the front by PETER BOWLES who played the
Prosecuting Counsel (after a performance at the Haymarket Theatre, again in 2006.)

The autographs are clearly signed with permanent Black Sharpie pen and are bold and clear with no smudges as shown in the photo.

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.

I ONLY SELL GENUINE SIGNATURES

ALL AUTOGRAPHS HAVE BEEN OBTAINED BY ME (and only me) PERSONALLY.

I don’t provide you with a Certificate of Authenticity as I believe them to be worthless. There are a huge number of fakes on e-bay and most of those come with a COA!!
On the other hand, I will always provide details, in the listing, of the date and location where each signature was obtained. If you have any further questions please ask.
The low starting price is merely to begin the bidding and does not neccessarily reflect the true value of the item.

I have collected autographs as a hobby for over 30 years and at times I have been able to get extra autographs if the celebrity has been kind enough to sign more than one for me.
I have no intention of breaking up my own autograph collection but am merely passing on any extras I may have.

I DO NOT SELL FAKES, FORGERIES, AUTOPEN SIGNATURES OR PRE-PRINTS.

I DO NOT TRADE WITH DEALERS OR OTHER SELLERS.

EVERY SIGNATURE I SELL HAS BEEN SIGNED IN FRONT OF ME
