This film is a rare opportunity to see Dame Daphne at her home in Cornwall. She talks to Cliff Michelmore on a wide range of subjects about her writing and work. She wrote twenty seven books in all, many of which were turned into films and television series.

Short excerpts are shown from the film. With the spread of broadband internet connectivity, we have upgraded these film clips to a higher quality, so a broadband connection is now recommended for full-speed playback.
