Media censorship has always been controversial, and provokes lively discussion today. In 1976 the BBC cancelled a TV drama about the Devil by celebrated playwright Dennis Potter. Over forty years later, Potter's play remains deeply shocking - and also a remarkable work of art. You are invited to a rare screening of the original TV play, introduced by Professor Darren Oldridge and followed by a discussion of some of the many issues it raises.

This screening contains scenes of sexual violence that some people may find distressing or offensive, and this event is unsuitable for children.
