Bridget Christie: Mortal

Death

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LWLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 Extra

Available for years

Continuing her look at Mortality, Bridget ponders 'Death'.

Like many of us forced to work from home during Covid lockdown, Bridget recorded this series herself in her house, and in her local park, on a pre-sanitised recording device sent to her in the post. Batteries weren’t included. She had to buy them all herself.

In a collection of informative, personal and absurd recordings, she confronts the difficult questions most of us spend our lives avoiding - all whilst being interrupted by cats, bad WiFi, life admin and her own dead self from beyond the grave.

If you are mortal, then this is the show for you.

Written and performed by Bridget Christie.

With guest appearances from her sister Eileen and her friend Ash.

Producer: Carl Cooper

A BBC Studios Production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in April 2021. Show less
