BBC2 makes Dead Good order

Miriam Margolyes will front Miriam’s Dead Good Adventure

BBC2 in the UK has commissioned a two-part factual programme that will see actor Miriam Margolyes examining human mortality.

London-based factual indie Wild Pictures is working on Miriam’s Dead Good Adventure for the UK pubcaster.

The 2×60’ show looks at the English way of dealing with ageing and death and investigates how to have a good life all the way to the end, and beyond.

The producer and director is Simon Draper, with Alicia Kerr and Paul Hamann executive producing.

Miriam’s Dead Good Adventure was commissioned by BBC2 controller Patrick Holland and Clare Sillery, head of commissioning for documentaries.
