15 Minute Drama The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Episode 5 Hattie Nayloy has revisioned it as a poignant and funny 17th century soap. DON'T ever bother with the diaries themselves - in translation from his code they are what most diaries tend to be - routine and dull with occasional moments of naughtiness and disaster that are lost in the bulk of the text. I can't wait for the TV series and the movie. So tender this one, with Kris Marshal and Katherine Jakeways beautifully bringing to life a laugh out loud, cry to the core script from Hattie Naylor. It simply confirms what I have always felt about people, whether we shift in time or place: we are fundamentally the same and will pass through a series of mishaps and moments that become our lives. Hasving caught many, if not most of the episodes over the last few years I found this one the must stunning, memorable and relevant. I have composed a motet, for 40 talented London-based singers, which will be performed on 25 November 2010 at St Olaves Church near Fenchurch Street Station. We are coming to the end I fear as Samuel Pepys gives up his diary. Three hundred and fifty years ago Samuel Pepys started his diary and my commission is to write a piece of music which is suitably grand in scale to mark the occasion.
This collection comprises all 10 radio series plus a special Saturday Drama centring on the Great Fire of London.This BBC Radio 4 drama serial has now run for three years. In this major BBC Radio dramatisation of the journals, the sights and sounds of his world are vividly conjured. Over 350 years may have passed since Pepys first put pen to paper, but the man and his preoccupations feel surprisingly familiar. Take a journey through our interactive map, which tells the story of the Great Fire through the detailed diary entries of Samuel Pepys, to see where he went, what he saw and who he met between 1. He described London - the frozen river Thames, the rising crime rate and the poverty - and recorded the details of his own life: his wife, rivals, lovers and friends, his work for the Navy, his drinking and social life. He also told us what people ate and wore, what they did for fun, the tricks they played on each other, what they expected of marriage, and even how they conducted love affairs. Lucy Scholes reveals why the diary still fascinates readers. Pepys gave us eyewitness accounts of some of the great events of the 17th century, including the Great Fire of London and the Second Dutch War. From Samuel Pepys to Bridget Jones, the private journal combines the mundane with the confessional. That diary has since become one of our most important, and fascinating, historical documents. For the next 10 years he faithfully recorded the day's events and confessed his innermost thoughts. Samuel Pepys was 26 when he decided to start keeping a diary, in January 1660.
Kris Marshall and Katherine Jakeways star as Mr & Mrs Pepys in this BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of the world famous diaries.
