There are explosive consequences in Truelove when teenage sweethearts Philippa ‘Phil’ Leach and Ken Holding, played by Lindsay Duncan and Clarke Peters, are confronted with an agonising moral dilemma.
In the opening episode of Channel 4’s new six-part thriller, five childhood chums are reunited at a funeral. At the wake Phil, Ken, and old friends Tom (Karl Johnson, Mum), Marion (Sue Johnston, The Royle Family) and David (Peter Egan, After Life) make a drunken pact to help each other die with dignity, should the time come.
