First Love, Second Chance
"Gill and Mark" (ITV 2003)

A three part series about couples who've previously been attached, this programme attempts to get them back together again to see if they can make up after all those years.

This particular film featured Gill and Mark, who met 18 years ago on a beach holiday, but through one thing another lost contact.

 
 

We filmed Gill and Mark as they met again for a second time, and followed their progress as they worked out if they could pick up the pieces and re-kindle their relationship.

Filming required as little intrusion as possible, and certainly no re-takes!  It's also important that you get on with people you're filming - as it is a sensitive and personal subject matter.

Making an objective film on social issues requires an awful lot of hours on camera, in the hope that the story can be told in the finished documentary. Often the content over-rides the technical considerations such as poor light or excessive background noise.  Thirty years experience in making these kind of films enables you to make quick assessments of circumstances, and to provide a valued judgement for the director to make the film.

Oh, and as a footnote - you'll be pleased to hear Gill and Mark got married in 2005, as a result of the programme!
