Causing A Scene looks at the scenes in movies that seem to perfectly capture a universal experience, or feeling. And that have perhaps influenced not only the way we look at the world but the way we talk, dream and grieve.

In this first episode, Antonia Quirke reveals how the title of a 1998 movie with Gwyneth Paltrow gave the world the phrase "sliding doors". Producer Philippa Braithwaite explains how the film had its own sliding doors moment when it seemed like it was never going to be made. And the movie's production designer Maria Djurkovic tells Antonia how life imitated art when she met a man on a tube train, just like the plot of Sliding Doors. Antonia also looks at the classic sliding doors movie It's A Wonderful Life and talks to cinema owner Kevin Markwick about why he thinks of himself as George Bailey, the man with a plan to leave his small town, memorably played by James Stewart.
