Marriage of convenience

Article Abstract:

A new production from BBC TV Documentaries is making the best use of the new multiskilling, digital technology techniques. The six-part series Relate, to be shown on BBC2 in early summer 1997, tells the story of six couples undergoing marriage counselling. The low-cost series is being filmed using a lightweight Panasonic DVCPro camera and the use of multiskilling means that just two people are involved in the filming.
