Mayflies was an amazing 2 part drama. Tony Curran and Martin Compston brilliantly played the roles of 2 boyhood friends. Out of the blue Jimmy(Compston) gets a call from Tully( Curran) and he discovers his friend is dying of cancer and wants to go to an “Assisted Dying” clinic in Switzerland. Ashley Jensen was also terrific as Tully’s partner Anna. For me as an Ayrshire man the location shots in Ayr,Troon and Glasgow were an added bonus. I am 76 years old and thought I had seen too many dramas on film and television to become deeply moved but I was wrong. This was a masterpiece!
