“You’re literally there feeling it, like you’re in that bedroom with them.” “You’re never just observing two people,” says Manners. Nicholls - who’s an executive producer on One Day - and series’ lead writer and creator, Nicole Taylor, agreed with Manners that the show should feel intimate to the viewer. Yes! The series is based on David Nicholls’ worldwide bestselling novel of the same name. “There’s these tiny moments that you didn’t think were important, but then it turns out they really were,” she says. So the ethereal, nostalgic quality of their relationship is intentional. The drama traverses the realms of memories, dreams, what-ifs, and what-might-have-beens. In One Day, she always wanted viewers to feel close to Em and Dex. “It’s so epic in terms of the span of years, but also it’s so intimate in terms of the relationship,” the series’ lead director and associate producer Molly Manners tells Tudum. Where will they be on this one ordinary day the next year, and the year after that, and every year that follows? Each episode finds Dex and Em one year older on this one particular date as they grow and change, move together and apart, and experience joy and heartbreak. Although uni’s coming to an end, the two students speak for the very first time that day and go their separate ways the following morning. It’s July 15, 1988, graduation night for Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew.
