Jonathan Pryce and Penelope Wilton are set to star in an ITV drama about Mavis Eccleston, a woman who survived a joint suicide pact with her husband and was subsequently charged with his murder. The drama is based on the real-life story of Ecclestone, who will be played by Wilton. The couple decided to end their lives together when their husband, Dennis, received a terminal cancer diagnosis and declined treatment to avoid prolonging his suffering. Mavis was tried for her husband's murder and acquitted in 2019. The show is timely as UK legislation is moving towards legalizing assisted dying.
