That Day We Sang is a British musical written and composed by Victoria Wood.[1] It is based on a true story of the reunion of a famous recording of "Nymphs and Shepherds" in 1929 by The Manchester Children's Choir.
Provisionally entitled Tubby and Enid, filming of a television adaption began on 6 January 2014[3] using locations in Liverpool, Manchester and Huddersfield Town Hall.[4][5][6] It was produced by Paul Frift with executive producers Hilary Bevan Jones and Matthew Read[7] and eventually broadcast under the original name on 26 December 2014.[8] Seen by 2.57 million viewers, it was the eighth most watched programme on BBC Two that week.[9] It was Wood's last major work before her death in April 2016.
An hour-long documentary That Musical We Made, about the making of the telefilm, was broadcast the following day and featured archive clips from the original reunion documentary about the real-life choristers which Wood first viewed in her twenties.[10]
