Glasgow dog walkers react to new Afterlife bench
- 2 years ago
Glasgow dog walkers have their say on the new bench donated to Glasgow by the makers of Afterlife.
After Life benches inspired by Ricky Gervais show installed.
Benches to mark the final series of a Ricky Gervais TV show about loss have been installed in parks to provide a place for people to chat and reflect.
The benches were installed at city two parks around the UK.
They are among 25 benches donated to local councils by streaming service Netflix and the suicide prevention charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM).
They mark the launch of the final series of After Life.
In After Life the main character Tony, played by Gervais, is often seen sitting on a bench in the churchyard where his wife is buried.
A woman played by Penelope Wilton, whose husband is also buried in the cemetery, often sits beside him.
The bench is the setting of their conversations across all three series, as Tony deals with his grief.
The benches have been engraved with a quote from the show "Hope is Everything".
The After Life benches can also be found in:
Ashford, Kent
Bath
Birmingham
Bristol
Cardiff
Edinburgh
Falmouth
Glasgow
Liverpool
London
Manchester
Minehead
Newcastle upon Tyne
Surrey Heath
Taunton
