Six programmes in which two close family members give an insight into the unique relationship that exists between them.
2: Theatre and film director Sir Peter
Hall and his son, television producer Christopher Hall. Sir Peter's obsession for work is so strong that he remembers all family events by the production he was working on at the time - Christopher was born between rehearsals of Tennessee Williams's play Camino Real. It is a trait that endears him to his son but not always to his wives.
