Mayflies

This 2022 BBC One two-part TV series is about the friendship between Jimmy and Tully, two men who are tested when Tully is diagnosed with terminal cancer. The series presents a realistic portrayal of what can happen when two people who are very close to a terminally-ill patient have differing views about end-of-life choice, and how they try to uphold their beliefs and still support their loved one. The series is based on Andrew O’Hagan’s 2020 novel of the same name and stars Martin Compston as Jimmy and Tony Curran as Tully.
