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."

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.” Dineen cheerfully refers to the job as a bit of “prostitution”, and makes it clear that it isn’t a documentary. “You can’t call it a documentary; there is no spirit of inquiry. I am doing something for a particular reason – the company has self-loathing issues,” she says.

However heavy the responsibility, Dineen did a great job of humanising the Blairs, with a superb moneyshot of Tony and Cherie pottering about in their Islington kitchen. And that is what Dineen does – she makes you care about the individual. As a rule, the subjects of her films are more taciturn than Tony Blair. When she gives them room to express themselves they often do so with a suppressed sort of anger. TELEVISION / An original of the species: Mark Lawson praises Molly".

As played on the BBC, emphasising Dineen’s BAFTA-winning credentials and the three years it took to make the film. Does she find it difficult to let go of the issues she covers in her films? "I feel it hard to let go of an issue I care about deeply because it affects me and how I live my life and I don't like it," she says, after some consideration. "I won't do the supermarket thing at the moment - it's too raw. Funnily enough, I also got rather impassioned about the amalgamation of regiments. I thought, even I understand that a regiment is based on a real, tribal loyalty, like football teams used to be, and certainly supporters are - and that's another of these dysfunctional things of modern life: how can you be loyal to what is basically now a multimillion-pound business, where players are just bought in for millions, have nothing to do with where they are? What are you loyal to? It's very interesting. I'd document that like a shot."

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." Though she accumulated much critical acclaim for her earlier work, it was the short film about Blair that brought Dineen to the attention of the general public, followed by the Geri Halliwell documentary. She looks faintly embarrassed at the subject now. "Well, that was all post-childbirth," she says with a laugh. "The good thing was cruising round Westminster discussing breast pumps with Tony Blair. And the bad thing was that it was a nightmare, it was a struggle, because of course you end up fighting for what it is you think you should do and want to do."

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.

Geri came about because she had wanted to make a film dealing with the issue of celebrity, and was invited to discuss making a documentary with the Spice Girls. "It would have been quite a not kind film," she says, "because I was so upset by the concept, by these girls projecting a very sexy image and their audience were six, and they're there in their thongs and boob tubes and high shoes. I remember crying. I must have been very hormonal." Molly Dineen is a television documentary director, cinematographer and producer.

There are two sides to every argument.” 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. But she won't - at least not until her children are a bit older. 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. a b c d e f Malcolm, Gabrielle (28 April 2011).

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.
