Colin Bytheway's drama about Life and Death. And choices. And the sock-to-trouser ratio of gay men.Strangers Jan and Martin meet boarding a flight. A flight they know that they will not survive. But they board anyway, as this route offers - along with extra legroom- active euthanasia.Exploiting a loophole in aviation law, flamboyant airline tycoon Hunter Mackenzie has pioneered these flights on his transatlantic routes. You board the plane, and then at a given time enter a specially designed compression chamber, receive a quick injection, and then you are dropped into the Atlantic ocean below - a burial at sea.Jan and Martin, for different reasons, have chosen to die this way but will this encounter give them something to live for? Their story is played out against a televised interview with Hunter Mackenzie to mark the first anniversary of his flights which have been criticised by lawyers, doctors and religious leaders.CAST:Jan - Alison SteadmanMartin - Kevin WhatelyRose - Helen GeorgeHunter - Julian Rhind-TuttTanya - Tracy-Ann ObermanLen - Roy HuddWriter - Colin BythewayProducer - Alison Crawford
