The Ockerbys On Ice
T0
How far would you go to be with the one you love? Viv and Dennis Ockerby would feel more at home in their slippers watching Cash in the Attic than in a laboratory at the cutting edge of science and medical ethics, yet here they are. This ordinary couple have won a shot at immortality, but how does it feel to contemplate a second chance at life? To visualise a distant future with them in it? Or the alternative: to have to say goodbye. Coronation Street writer Debbie Oates skilfully guides you on a funny, heart-warming journey through the icy world of cryonic freezing. A world Dennis and Viv barely understand, let alone thought they'd ever be a part of. But as Dennis marches towards his destiny, Viv stumbles: is this really what people are doing nowadays? And what if the future doesn't want them?
