Time is a funny thing.

One minute you’re toddling around, and the next you’re working in a bank (see Paper Trail). Or becoming a satellite dish (We Were Here). Or finally getting round to watching the Sopranos and realising how much it mirrors your own history (Long Live Livia).

Whether it's the changing nature of storytelling over eons (Storytelling), or one person’s transformation across a lifetime (Living With A Visionary), the world keeps on spinning.

Time affects us all, and no one gets that more than the filmmakers in this programme.
