Wiki.

Rain on the Roof is a television drama by Dennis Potter, broadcast by ITV on 26 October 1980.

It is the second in a loosely connected trilogy of plays exploring language and betrayal, produced for London Weekend Television by the independent company Potter and producer Kenith Trodd established after a break in the playwright's relationship with the BBC. A psycho-sexual thriller, the drama is an example of the visitation motif: a key theme in Potter's work. The title of the play is taken from the 1932 Al Bowlly song of the same name.
