An excellent two-part film in which Miriam Margolyes embarks on a mission to confront her fear of ageing and death.

“It’s not the length of the life that matters, it’s the quality of every second.”

In this thought-provoking and entertaining new two part documentary, Miriam, who admits to being terrified of dying, travels the world to take an unflinching look at an often taboo subject.

Comic gold as Miriam’s “cynical English gorge” rose at the embracing of fads such as cryogenic treatments, “organismic chanting” to maintain positive energy.
