Dennis had cancer before and knew how hard treatment would be on him and his family.

The four-part drama stars Penelope Wilton and Jonathan Pryce as Mavis and Dennis.

Sian Brooke and Chris Reilly play their children, Joy and Kevin.

Downton Abbey's Penelope Wilton leads the cast.

The show also features Rhashan Stone and Emma Stansfield.

Chris Lang wrote the series, and Bruce Goodison directed each episode.

Tom Brittney was moved by Mavis and Dennis's love story and wanted to make a drama about it.

Tom Brittney thinks their story can spark a debate about assisted dying.

Director Bruce Goodison praises the family's humanity and dignity.
