A poignant account of actress Kika Markham's marriage to actor Corin Redgrave, drawn from their intimate diaries.
Kika Markham's long career in the cinema, television and theatre as an actress includes many appearances; Minder, The Life and Times of David Lloyd George, Van der Valk, Cracker, and Agatha Christie's Poirot. Markham married actor Corin Redgrave. Markham and Redgrave appeared together twice on screen: first in Lynda La Plante's Trial and Retribution in 2000 as a judge and barrister respectively; and later in the BBC's Waking The Dead as lovers suspected of the murder of a government advisor. They also appeared on stage together in an acclaimed revival of Noël Coward's A Song at Twilight, along with sister in law Vanessa Redgrave. Kika was directed by François Truffaut in Les Deux Anglaises et le Continent (1971) and has appeared in other films such as Outland (1981) and Killing Me Softly (2002).
'Our Time of Day captures the exhaustion, the confusion, the unpreparedness of learning to love someone you have loved already; the same man, but with parts missing, parts changed... There are also funny anecdotes about those picky traits that cause repetitive arguments, and confessions that many are not prepared to make. Kika divulges an honesty that is impressionable-she is not self-pitying, or saintly, but really just comes across as human.' The Lancet Neurology
