- Everyone has a Tully (Tony Curran) - the friend who defines your life. In the summer of 1986, Jimmy (Martin Compston) and Tully ignite a friendship based on music, films and the rebel spirit. With school over and the locked world of their fathers before them, they rush towards the climax of their youth - a magical weekend in Manchester. There, against the greatest soundtrack ever recorded, a vow is made: to go at life differently. Thirty years on, half a life away, the phone rings. Tully has the worst kind of news, and a request that will test their friendship, love, and loyalty to the limit...

Timely emotional drama about assisted dying and cancer - Mayflies review by PV
I read about this so thought I'd rent it.
Tbh it could be ONE episode not 2 - loads of flab and filler here.
The main character annoyed me & is totally unlikeable.
As for the relationships, well I just did not believe some of them and wonder if the novel had them like that.
Not my usual thing, emofilms about cancer etc. Maybe more a woman';s film. I wanted to see the 80s flashbacks.
I felt there was a decent film in here trying to get out, but it did not in the end.
