EXCLUSIVE: Philip Glenister's new project revealed!

19/8/2013

 
Just days after we brought you news that Philip would be working on a new project in September, we can now reveal what it is, thanks to his agent.

He will star as Daniel Cotton (the lead) in a 3x60min drama for BBC1 called 'From There to Here'.

Written by Peter Bowker and made by Kudos Film and Television (the people behind Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes, Spooks and Broadchurch) the series is set in the aftermath of the Arndale bombing, and follows a Manchester family man is torn between the life he wants and the life he could have.

This is a funny, characterful and moving drama about a man (we assume Daniel Cotton) whose life is rocked to the core – a family saga which begins in Manchester in the summer of 1996, on the day when an IRA bomb exploded in the city centre. Against the feel-good backdrop of Euro 96, it maps the emotional shockwaves generated by that bomb in the lives of two parallel families from different sides of the tracks.

From There To Here is Executive produced by Derek Wax for Kudos and Stephen Wright for the BBC

Being a resident of Manchester, I am really looking forward to this. Remember the bombing like it was yesterday; the fear and devastation. But Manchester rose up stronger and better than ever before. I'm sure Kudos and Phil will treat the subject matter with appropriate sensitivity.

Thanks for finding this info out and sharing it on your fansite. I like the look of the story and think this will be a fantastic role for Phil. I can still remember tv reports from the day this happened, very devastating to watch.

Ok it's looking like Philip will either be my sons uncle or grandad! The casting agency are very limited with what they can tell me believe it or not! So I'm having to piece it together with what info I have. Bernard hill will be his grandad as far as I can tell which means Philip or Steven mackintosh is his dad. We are filming in almost 2 weeks so ill def come on and give you an update and some pics x

Thanks Fiona for that information we're all really excited for your son.
From past experience in trying to find out what Phil's doing, anyone connected with the TV production is incredibly tight lipped about what's going on !

I don't know how old your son is, but in a previous TV series called Hidden, Phil had a 14 year old screen 'son'. Thank you for telling us what you can, of course we will understand if a lot of what's happening is confidential for the time being.
