The world of the choir boys of St Paul's Cathedral may have its roots in the Middle Ages-like their nickname ' Paul's Children ' -but in 1978 it still means a life of dedication and very hard work for 38 boys from the age of eight. Everyman explores this little-known world from audition day to special performances before the Queen Mother, through a typical day starting at seven in the morning to the glories of Christmas carols in the Cathedral.
