Just Another Day (TV series)

Just Another Day is a BBC documentary series, shown over twenty thirty minute episodes. The series follows John Pitman observing a typical day in the life of places, businesses and institutions that are considered part of the British way of life.

The episodes consisted of Pitman (who was always off-camera) shadowing a member of staff in the particular profession whilst he/she went about their particular job, combined with "fly on the wall" segments of other aspects and challenges of the profession (with Pitman narrating).

The basic format of Just Another Day was later developed and expanded in the late 1990s with the so-called "docusoap" (notable BBC examples included Airline and Driving School) which serialised the events and lives of  employees within a particular profession or situation.
