"My diary is, as a personal witness, that of description and observation. My Diary moves between observations and speculation pondering on what might be now: what is on the other side of that wall? that door? those closed curtains?"
Developed from Ian Breakwell's published Diaries, these short works provide an objective, compassionate, often humorous and bizarre view of events that happen around us daily.
Commissioned by Channel 4 and made in collaboration with independent producer Anna Ridley, the series was broadcast over a six week period in April and May 1984.
