Avatar

• Talking head · Talking head
• A grey-haired, bearded older man in a dark coat speaks to camera in a dim study with a glass cabinet, a skull, a doll and a candle. Framing is chest-up and centred. Story scenes use aged black-and-white style images.

Format

A presenter opens by naming a record, then illustrated narration reads the inquests, ledgers and letters of one invented case, with chapters, and closes by asking viewers for their own family stories.
