Mayflies

Two-part BBC drama starring Martin Compston, Tony Curran and Ashley Jensen, based on the novel by Andrew O'Hagan. Tully (Curran) and Jimmy (Compston) have been friends since they were young. Decades have passed and now Tully, who has terminal cancer, asks Jimmy to help him travel to Switzerland so he can die on his own terms.

Meanwhile, Tully's girlfriend Anna (Jensen), who knows nothing of Tully's plan, wants Tully to continue receiving treatment so that they can have as much time together as possible.
