Reality TV Series to Monitor Death

London’s Channel 4 is searching for volunteers to have their body viewed as it decomposes after death. The show, “Dust to Dust,” will aid scientists in their quest to better understand the process of decomposition and aid forensic pathologist to better determine time of death in murder investigations. Thankfully the show won’t be filmed in real time sparing viewers the nightly agony of waiting for a fingernail to drop off or an orfice to pustulate.

Apparently, the documentary will air when enough volunteers die and and the English countryside is ripe with the smell of death. We don’t know if we want to but we’ll thank Adrants reader Charley Brough anyway for “forcing” us to write about this.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
