TCW: All In A Day’s Work - Part Four

April 27th, 2006 Comments Off

In All In A Day’s Work, we peer into the lives of people going about their business. In each half-hour, we compare and contrast the experiences of three people in three different countries doing the same job. We go to Ireland, Iran, and Australia to listen to the candid thoughts of three clerics. Ayatollah Mahdi goes climbing, jogging and swimming. Graham trained as a concert pianist. Andrew finds that people in the supermarket peer into his shopping basket to see what he has bought. This sound portrait, produced by the BBC’s Andrea Kennedy, explores the ways in which people live spiritual lives in three very different countries.
