The nation’s favourite mother and son made this programme in January 2020 pre pandemic exploring the morbid but also strangely uplifting business of editing your life’s final chapter.
An entertaining sideways glance into the one inevitability for all of us (besides taxes) – delivered in a candid style with heartwarming & heartbreaking moments by the mother and son.
Emmy winning Baz and his beloved mammy, Nancy Ashmawy have garnered lots of accolades, awards and attention in past years for their International hit series “50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy” – but despite the efforts over 5 continents and 20 episodes, Baz’s Ma is still very much alive – and remarkably, her only child has never contemplated her demise – much less his own.
The funnyman with the empathetic heart, Baz had never broached the subject of death with his Mammy prior to filming this programme two and a half years ago . Pragmatic, sweet Nancy on the other hand, has no filter and tells it as it is. A former nurse – she has seen dying and death in many ways – and has very strong opinions on how we should deal with both inevitabilities; practically, emotionally and socially.
She is ready to talk about it but is her only son Baz ready??!
