When antiques dealer and erstwhile TV personality Mike Melody was diagnosed with incurable motor neurone disease, he tasked his daughter Victoria with the responsibility of organising his funeral but a year later it transpired that doctors had misdiagnosed him and he wasn't facing death after all.

Leo and Katherine caught up with Mike and Victoria as they prepared to take to the stage for the first time in their father-daughter comedy show Ugly Chief, at the Battersea Arts Centre, telling the story of Mike's misdiagnosis, Victoria's quest to train as a professional funeral director, and the darkly comedic industry of death they uncovered during their search for the perfect send-off.
