My Wonderful Life

Sky One’s acclaimed documentary series from independent producer Chalkboard TV featuring farewell messages from people approaching the end of their lives.

Scored by Paul Honey (A House Through Time, Child Genius), My Wonderful Life (4x 60’) is narrated by Julie Walters and sees people with life-limiting conditions record messages and arrange gifts and surprises for the people they love, which are delivered after they have passed away.

Dying Matters, a coalition of organisations that encourages people to talk about dying, death and bereavement, contributed feedback to the production in its early stages.

My Wonderful Life broadcast on Sky One in 2018.

It is a Chalkboard production for Sky One. The executive producer is Warwick Banks.
