A Funny Kind Of Life And Death, Episode 1

Cancer, life-threatening illness and euthanasia - not the sort of things you would normally expect to laugh at, but in this programme that's exactly what they'd like you to do.

Further details

Stand-up comic Alistair Barrie and his wife Emily found their newly-wed bliss shattered by a traumatic diagnosis; Scott Gibson came face to face with his own mortality and it profoundly altered his life's course; Mel Moon became so ill she considered euthanasia; and cancer survivor Toby Peach gives us an extract of his self penned Eulogy... to life.
