"Way to Go" - New BBC Assisted Suicide Comedy

US comedy writer Bob Kushell has created a black comedy for BBC3 about a group of men forced into launching an assisted suicide business.  (Broadcast Now; Radio Times)

Way To Go will center on twenty-something Scott, who is moved by his neighbor’s request to die, but is also grappling with a predatory female boss, a split from his girlfriend, and a need for cash to pay off his brother Joey’s gambling debts.  Together with Joey and friend Cozzo, Scott stumbles across the solution of illegally purchasing an assisted-suicide machine. It’s not a simple process, however, and the trio’s inadequacies provide some of the most darkly comic moments.
