Description

In London, the Metropolitan Police set up a new Unsolved Murders Unit – a cold case squad – to catch the criminals nobody else can. Charting the life of Toni Crews, and working alongside Brighton and Sussex Medical School, My Dead Body tells the incredible story of Toni’s illness with cancer before and after her death, narrated by her own words. On a luxury liner en route to New York, the battle for power within a wealthy dynasty is about to turn to murder. Toni was the first person in the UK to elect to donate her body for public display. This film shows the dissection of Toni’s body during a series of educational workshops- the first time a dissection has been captured on TV of a named donor- which is intended to educate viewers on the science of cancer and its journey through the human body.

A dead body and a hotchpotch of homeowners in a residential building on a single night: all hell breaks loose. He said the NHS was in an "existential crisis" - and pledged his party would train more staff, use the private sector to bring down waiting lists, and introduce fair pay and conditions for workers. But that, the film-makers seem to have decided, is enough to evoke the surreality without edging into horror. So we see – and from a little distance – the chest wall being gently lifted off and set aside, the sun glowing for a moment through the skin between the ribs – rather than the business of its separation.

Featuring home video footage and beautifully frank interviews with her family, we get a glimpse into Toni’s brave, funny and resilient character. With Toni as our guide the film draws from a vast collection of her social media posts and letters to her children using incredible, cutting-edge voice replicating technology. Each episode was not dissimilar to Murder, She Wrote. There was a dead body, a mystery to solve, an unstoppable - if somewhat bumbling investigative duo and a tried and tested formula. But US viewers simply didn’t take to it. Perhaps it was too soon after the poker-faced, steely-eyed streetwise investigator that was Robert McCall for viewers to accept Woodward in a more tongue-in-cheek role. “They turned my Equalizer into a whiny old complaining man!” one fan lamented. Or perhaps they’d simply seen it all before. Showcase and Showcase Cinema de Lux are committed to providing you with the ultimate film-going experience. The film is made by 141 Productions, part of All3Media’s Objective Media Group, and directed by Emmy, BAFTA and RTS award-winning Sophie Robinson. In this never-before-seen medical investigation, the film follows Professor Claire Smith, Head of Anatomy at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, and her team as they dissect Toni’s body and chart the course of the disease from the initial diagnosis to her death four years later. By understanding exactly what caused Toni’s symptoms and building a timeline of how the cancer developed, this unique study will support decades of research for medical students and academics, with the aim of helping the lives of countless people for years to come. On board luxury cruise liner the Alden, a wealthy clientele have signed up for the opulence and glamour of a trans-Atlantic voyage. But the battle for power at the heart of a wealthy dynasty is about to turn to murder.

Ming, his wife, and mother-in-law discover an anonymous naked dead body on their doorstep, and they're desperate to avoid any impact on their property value. They decide to shift the responsibility to their six neighbours, and soon, everyone is fighting to disassociate themselves from the corpse. As tensions rise and conflicts escalate, it becomes clear that nobody wants to take responsibility for the situation. But as dawn approaches and the body remains unclaimed, the residents are forced to work together to get rid of it. A twisted tale that explores the lengths people will go to avoid accountability and the unexpected bonds that can form in the most bizarre circumstances. In fact, Woodward had no intention of returning to American prime-time at that point of his career. He was now 58 years old, wealthier than he'd ever been, and a world-wide star. He was content to return to work in the UK and continue his acting career but at a more leisurely pace. But he had left his finances in the hands of an accounting company and returned home to be presented with a huge tax demand. He explained to HMRC that he'd already paid tax on his earnings in America, but to no avail. He was expected to pay tax again, this time to the British government, on the same earnings. He was heavily criticised at the time by some health leaders for failing to mention the workforce crisis. In London, the Metropolitan Police have set up a new Unsolved Murders Unit – a cold case squad – to catch the criminals nobody else can. Four victims. Four cases. All killers poised to strike again.

Cunning plots, silken style…Archer plays a cat-and-mouse game with the reader.” — The New York Times Although I did receive an ARC, I also listened to the audio version. George Blagden does an admirable job of bringing the characters to life. His narration significantly added to the entertainment value of the story. On board luxury cruise liner The Alden, a wealthy clientele have signed up the for opulence and glamour of a trans-Atlantic voyage. But the battle for power at the heart of a wealthy dynasty is about to turn to murder. In Geneva, millionaire art collector Miles Faulkner – convicted of forgery and theft – was pronounced dead two months ago. So why is his unscrupulous lawyer still representing a dead client? And who is the mysterious man his widow is planning to marry?

Toni’s gift of body donation doesn’t end with this documentary either; her body will be used to educate our medical students and doctors for years to come.” In Geneva, millionaire art collector Miles Faulkner – convicted of forgery and theft – was pronounced dead two months ago. So why is his unscrupulous lawyer still representing a dead client?In America, CBS were desperate for his return and had already lined up a new 12-episode series, more if it proved a success, and with the promise of filming in California, Woodward weighed up the odds and reluctantly accepted. Uprooting his family once again, he moved to Los Angeles.
