Just Another Day (TV Series)
Just Another Day is a BBC documentary series, shown over twenty thirty minute episodes. The series follows John Pitman observing a typical day in the life of places, businesses and institutions that are considered part of the British way of life. The episodes consisted of Pitman (who was always off-camera) shadowing a member of staff in the particular profession whilst he/she went about their particular job, combined with "fly on the wall" segments of other aspects and challenges of the profession (with Pitman narrating). The basic format of ''Just Another Day'' was later developed and expanded in the late 1990s with the so-called "docusoap" (notable BBC examples included ''Airline'' and ''Driving School'') which serialised the events and lives of employees within a particular profession or situation.

Title Sequence
A title sequence (also called an opening sequence or intro) is the method by which films or television programmes present their title and key production and cast members, utilizing conceptual visuals and sound (often a opening theme song with visuals, akin to a brief music video). It typically includes (or begins) the text of the opening credits, and helps establish the setting and tone of the program. It may consist of live action, animation, music, still images, and/or graphics. In some films, the title sequence is preceded by a cold open. History Since the invention of the cinematograph, simple title cards were used to begin and end silent film presentations in order to identify both the film and the production company involved, and to act as a signal to viewers that the film had started and then finished. In silent cinema, title cards or intertitles were used throughout to convey dialogue and plot, and it is in some of these early short films that we see the first examples ...
