A Day Like Sunday by Colin Finbow

4 Extra Debut. On a Bank Holiday weekend beach family holiday, Arthur Blake tries to focus on the good things in his life. Stars Robert Hardy.

It is a sunless Sunday before a Bank Holiday.

As Arthur Blake's small daughter Alison buries him in the sand, he examines what is good in his life...

People reveal themselves to us, and to themselves, within the framework of a Sunday outing, and although we leave them with a question-mark, we know that the simple events of the day have changed their lives, if only covertly.
