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.
My Dead Body is a 1x60’ for Channel 4 produced by 141 Productions. The commissioning editor for Channel 4 is Anna Miralis. The executive producer is Hannah Brownhill and the director is Sophie Robinson. 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.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. 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. Diagnosed with a rare cancer of the tear gland in 2016, which lead to her eye being removed, mother of two Toni discovered her cancer was terminal in 2020 and made the decision to continue to raise awareness of the disease – even after death. She not only agreed to donate her body to medical science but also chose to give consent for it to be on public display. She died in August 2020 at the age of 30, and in 2022 Toni became the first public display cadaver in the UK since records began 180 years ago, and the first British cadaver to be seen being dissected in such a way, for almost 200 years. Showcase and Showcase Cinema de Lux are committed to providing you with the ultimate film-going experience. 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.
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.”He was heavily criticised at the time by some health leaders for failing to mention the workforce crisis. 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. 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.
