BBC Radio 4 - Mirrored

A chronological journey through life - from childhood to old age - captured in the mirror.

A chronological journey through life, from childhood to old age, captured in the mirror. Created by award-winning documentary-maker Cathy FitzGerald.

A chronological journey through life - from childhood to old age - via a series of interviews recorded with people as they confront their reflection in the mirror. 

What do they see? How has their face changed? What stories lie behind the wrinkles and scars? 

We hear the initial wonder of the small child give way to the embarrassment of the teenager and the acceptance of later-life. 

Presented and produced by award-winning documentary-maker, Cathy FitzGerald, this moving programme hops from home to home in contemporary Britain, catching its subjects in bedrooms and bathrooms and lounges, in order to hold up a mirror to the ageing process itself. 

A White Stiletto production for BBC Radio 4.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
