Diary

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Compiled by Joan Bakewell
To start keeping a diary is probably one of the most common New Year resolutions. It also seems to be one of the first to be abandoned. Yet for some people, it becomes a habit they can hardly break. Why do they keep a diary? How frank dare they be in it? What therapeutic or other purpose does it serve?
JOAN BAKEWELL looks into the world of the regular diarist by kind permission Of PETER BARKWORTH , SIR HUGH CASSON , LADY ANTONIA FRASER , CLIVE JENKINS , R. D. LAING , ERIN PIZZEY, MARY WHITEHOUSE and KENNETH WILLIAMS
Producer JOHN THEOCHARIS
