Synopsis
Night and Day is a 24-hour journey through the streets of London spent in the company of two different and unusual writers. The day is introduced by 'Spectator' columnist Jeffrey Bernard, who has turned the humdrum routine of daylight hours into a time of escapade, adventure and other lowlife pursuits in the face of every obstacle, including his own collapse at eight each evening. As his day ends, Celia Fremlin's night begins. Fremlin, a 71-year-old thriller writer, stalks London's streets from 11pm to 5am in pursuit of what she perceives as a kingdom magically transformed by darkness. Together Bernard and Fremlin present a London that is delightfully personal, mysteriously romantic and usually unexpected.
