UCC graduate Jessica Regan excited by starring role in BBC dark comedy Ill Behaviour

It’s an unusual plot for a comedy – when a man refuses to have treatment for cancer, his friends kidnap him and force him to have chemo. Ill Behaviour airs on BBC tomorrow – with UCC graduate Jessica Regan in a starring role. Jennifer Regan meets meets the rising star.

Let’s be honest, the word ‘cancer’ isn’t exactly synonymous with ‘comedy’. However, Sam Bain writer and executive producer of the new BBC/Fudge Park series Ill Behaviour carefully executes an incongruously themed plot with a stellar cast.

The result is a funny, provocative and suspense-driven story about three friends who embark on a journey that takes them to the extremes of their friendship.
