Fly On The Wall Series For C4
A British family have allowed their every move to be followed by 21 cameras for a new Channel 4 documentary.
The channel spent a year searching for subjects for the fly-on-the-wall series before finding the Hughes family, from Canterbury, Kent. The series, The Family, comes 34 years after the BBC documentary by Paul Watson of the same name.
The subject of that show, Margaret Wilkins, was vilified for her family's use of foul language, but the programme was credited with creating the fly-on-the-wall documentary.
Today's family, comprised of Simon Hughes, 44, who was recently made redundant, wife Jane, 40, who works for a charity, and their four children Jessica, 22, Emily, 19, Charlotte, 17, and Tom, 14, said they felt that they had nothing to fear from letting the cameras into their home.
The Hughes' were filmed over 100 days and nights and more than 5,000 hours of material was condensed into the eight-part series starting next month.
The Family begins on September 17.
