Dineen has three young children with her husband, William Sieghart, and she is aware that making a documentary requires a total immersion in the subject that leaves little time for family. BD: There are loads of organisations that are trying to change things, but the problem is they can only do small bits. There’s not one coordinated body that wants to solve the issue. The power that be don’t want you to clean under the carpet. That’s why you had riots, because things that were under the carpet came out. Only government can legislate for things to change. She toyed with the idea of making a documentary about the end of fox hunting, but as she began filming she grew increasingly interested in an uneasy transaction that takes place between the hunts and the farming community, the "flesh run" - for a nominal sum, the hunt collects the unwanted cattle it would cost the farmers vast sums to dispose of properly and use the meat to feed their hunting dogs.

And if you create a lifestyle that means you're in a hurry, you end up in the supermarket and running around and doing all the things that you know are wrong - well, that you know are not contributing to the way of life you'd like to live."

One of Britain's most acclaimed documentary filmmakers, Dineen is known for her intimate and probing portraits of British individuals and institutions. [1] [ bettersourceneeded] Her work includes The Lie of the Land (2007), examining the decline of the countryside and British farming, The Ark (1993) about London Zoo during Thatcherism, and the Lords' Tale (2002), which examined the removal of hereditary peers.I said yes because it’s such an incredibly interesting company … it is a very strange beast, covering such an unbelievable variety of types of people, across different territories,” she says. “When you say the word Serco – it’s quite interesting the strength of bad name it has got.” Making it was satisfying, she says, because it was like being given access to the Ladybird books of how the world works. They say: ‘This is John, he makes steel’ and ‘This is Paul, he runs a prison.’ If you are me and you’re nosy and think access to places is key, it is fabulous.” Despite the current vogue for documentary at the cinema, Dineen's films have remained firmly on television. She would love to see her work on the big screen, though. "I'm always begging my agent, "Can we try?" And he says, 'No Molly, not cinema, telly.'" She laughs. "When I did my first film I watched it on Radio Rentals outside the shop. I was so excited! It was on 20 screens!" She doesn't watch much TV these days, but she grew up entirely devoted to television: "Every day after school we used to come home and have two teacakes, a crumpet and watch telly solidly until my mother dragged us out of there screaming to do our homework. I loved it so much." a b Lawson, Mark. "Molly Dineen in Conversation". bfi.org.uk. British Film Institute. Archived from the original on 22 March 2018 . Retrieved 21 March 2018.

BD: One of my first escapades into producing was in 1983, I was going to celebrate Rasta Christmas on 7th January 1984, which is Ethiopian Christmas day. That dance is on YouTube, with Sugar Minott, Don Carlos, Junior Reid. Sugar Minott told me to make my own riddims to avoid paying publishing. I didn’t know nothing about this, so he showed me what to do. He had musicians so we went to the studio and in two days we created 24 riddims. Some of them ended up on Sugar Minott’s album Herbman Hustling. Home from the Hill – 1985 BBC Two documentary about Lieutenant-Colonel Hilary Hook's return to the UK after living abroad. [2] [3] [6] Won Royal Television Society Prize. First Prize at Anthropos Documentary Festival, Los Angeles. TV Suisse Rommande Prize. Dineen, 48, first came to public attention in 1985 with Home from the Hill, a documentary she made at film school about a retired colonel, Hilary Hook, making his return to the UK from Africa. Later, she filmed The Ark, about London zoo, Heart of the Angel, about Angel tube station in London, and In the Company of Men, about a company of the Welsh Guards regiment of the British army. There were more surprising films, too: a 10-minute party election broadcast about Tony Blair, for example, screened in 1997, and Geri, about Geri Halliwell, filmed in the aftermath of her departure from the Spice Girls. In 2002, she returned to more identifiably Dineen territory with The Lord's Tale, about the reformation of the House of Lords. The Lie of the Land, which was also screened at this year's Hay festival, was really born out of The Lord's Tale. "I was there filming when the fox hunting bill came lumbering through after the Commons and all that," she explains, "and I just thought, why?"Molly Dineen: Notes from the underground".
