An innovative
television project which aims to document life in Britain is coming
to BBC Daytime.
All in a Day will feature a wide range of stories
documenting the extraordinary lives that ordinary people lead
whether it be the birth of a child, leaving home for the first time,
coming out of prison, or out of the closet.
Each film will be shot within a 24-hour period, and
will be made by the BBC's in-house Factual team.
Distinguished film-maker Paul Watson, who created
memorable documentaries The Family, The Fishing Party and Malcolm &
Barbara, will act as mentor to the documentary makers involved in the
project.
Alison Sharman, Controller of BBC Daytime, said: "This
is an exciting commission that will offer Daytime viewers a compelling
snapshot of life in Britain today, and will be a fantastic addition
to the portfolio of strong programming on BBC Daytime."
Alan Hayling, Head of Documentaries, said: "This
is an ambitious project which will give up-and-coming film-makers an
opportunity to make distinctive and original films that will reflect
life in Britain today."
All in a Day will transmit on BBC ONE Daytime in 2005.
