Tom Tom Special: I Want to Be... a Film Director

on BBC One London

A film unit at work in a Suffolk village - in charge the director, Delbert Mann, an American, making a film of Dickens's David Copperfield with an 85-strong English unit and cast.
From the outside, film-making seems a tough, glamorous, and expensive business, a film director a lonely figure, out of reach. But in this programme the director, the stars, the technicians talk about what it is really like.
David Copperfield has its London premiere on Friday at the start of the Dickens' Centenary year
