01Birth2021041320220726 (R4)Following on from her hugely successful, award-winning series - ‘Minds The Gap' and ‘Utopia', Bridget Christie turns her attention to Mortality

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, chores, children, foxes and a plumber.

`Do twins share a soul or do they get one each?`, `Why don't we bury our placentas and plant a tree on top of them?` and `Who's blocked the toilet again?`

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

Written and performed by Bridget Christie

With guest appearances from her dad, sister Eileen and friend Ash

Following episodes cover 'Life', ‘Death' and ‘The Afterlife'.

Producer: Carl Cooper

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

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.

'Does life have meaning?', 'How do you live in the moment?', 'Why is life like a washing machine cycle?' and 'What's that dog barking at?'

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