The show stars Lindsay Duncan and Clarke Peters who come together with a group of friends at the wake of another pal.
They end up discussing the subject of death and end up forming the ‘Truelove’ pact as a promise to give each other a dignified exit.
However, when one of the group receives an unpleasant diagnosis, the dilemma of fulfilling that promise causes shockwaves.
A synopsis in the Radio Times reads: “Phil (Duncan) had a long and distinguished career in the police, but after 13 years of retirement she’s very, very bored.
“Ken (Peters), a solitary SAS veteran, feels similarly at sea. When they meet for the first time in years at a friend’s funeral, at the drunken wake they and their friends take it in turns to imagine what a dignified death looks like, dreaming of quality of years over quantity, but what starts as a joke soon morphs into reality when their beloved friend Tom asks them to make the ultimate sacrifice.”
Alongside Duncan and Peters, the six-episode Channel 4 series contains the likes of Peter Egan, Phil Davis and Sue Johnston.
