The twitter account that is run on Phil's behalf, has tweeted pictures of Phil and his co-star, Lesley Sharp with badges showing their support for Equal Representation for Actresses (ERA)

Equal Representation for Actresses is a campaign is to require the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and all other major broadcasters to implement an equal gender balance across their drama and comedy slates by 2020. They want  casting and creative decisions made by commissioners and programme makers to be held up to a basic requirement of a 50:50 gender balance across their content yearly. 

​Here is a close up image of the badge that Philip is holding:

Philip has spoken in past interviews about the lack of roles for actresses, particularly as they get older so it's no surprise that he is supporting this campaign.

It seems there could be... but Phil's co-star Ant Anstead is remaining tight lipped. 

​Maybe we should explain...

​Our Phil-senses began tingling this morning when we noticed that the official Twitter account for 'For the Love of Cars' retweeted a tweet they'd posted themselves back in November 2016 - shortly after the Lotus special aired. 

Naturally, we retweeted and then we fired off a cheeky text to Ant asking if we should read anything into the fact that a tweet posted 7 months ago had been retweeted by themselves that morning. 

​We had to wait a while for his reply - he's moved to LA now to work on another project - but a he did  eventually get back to us.  Not that his response really told us anything...

So, no concrete proof as yet but we're still hopeful and will, as always, bring you any more news about the future of the show as soon as we have it! And if you want to see more of Phil and Ant then go and retweet and let them know!

We have been treated to another shot of the main cast of Living the Dream thanks to Philip's co-star in the show, Lesley Sharp. The actress, who also appeared alongside Philip in Clocking Off shared the image on her official Instagram account saying

Another heart-wrenching episode! Goodness, the feels (and the threats) just keep coming!

​This week, we finally got to see Rev Anderson deal with Sidney and take his rightful place back in the pulpit of the Light of God Baptist Church.  Meghan, Holly, Allison and Amber were also placed into dangerous situations as the series catapults towards it's conclusion. 

Are you ready for the finale next week? We're not - we don't know what we'll do without our weekly dose of the Rev!

The acting community  lost a beloved member on Tuesday - Sir Roger Moore, who is best known for playing James Bond, passed away after a battle with cancer. Many of you will know that Philip was a huge fan of Moore's 70s TV show, The Persuaders and will remember Philip getting to experience the iconic DBS from the programme in the second series of For the Love of Cars.

​Upon hearing the news of Roger's death he sent a message in remembrance of Roger. The message, posted on the Facebook Page that is run on his behalf, reads:

You can listen to Philip talk about his love of The Persuaders and how it influenced Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes on YouTube. 

This week's episode was a bit of a creep-a-thon with the return of killer, Blake Morrow (Lee Tergesen). For those of you struggling to remember, her was the one who killed his best friend's wife  in the second episode of  the first series. 

Still possessed, Blake  was trying to find Kyle and befriended Meghan while doing so. At the same time, Rev Anderson came face to face with Sidney in a confined space. And the Rev did not want to turn the other cheek... oh no, he was out for revenge.  There was also the appearance of a mystery man at the end of the episode - keeping vigil over Kyle's mother. Could this be the long lost Simon Barnes? You'll have to tune in next week to find out. 

With only two episodes left the finish line is in sight.  Hopefully a third series will be forthcoming...

Sky One have revealed the first images of Philip in their new comedy drama, Living the Dream.

In an accompanying press release, Philip's character was confirmed as Mal Pemberton who, along with his wife, Jen (Lesley Sharp and children Tina (Rosie Day) and Freddie (Brenock O'Connor), decides it’s time to leave rainy England and move to the sunshine state of Florida.

Mal’s buys an RV Park with plans for a booming family-run business, but it soon turns out that they are not going to be living the dream they hoped. Before they’ve even settled in, Mal discovers that the park is home to a group of eccentric residents who are not exactly thrilled to meet their new owners. Jen has to learn how to survive American suburbia and the kids have to navigate a US high school.

With culture clashes aplenty, life in Britain soon seems even further away than they’d thought it would. But with the support of each other and their crazy new friends, they begin to learn how to live the American dream.

The show will also star Kim Fields (The Facts of Life) as their larger than life neighbour Rhoda, Kevin Nash (Magic Mike) as ex wrestler and park resident Troy, Leslie Jordan (Will & Grace) as busy-body, park resident Aiden, Paula Wilcox (Mount Pleasant) as Maureen and Jimmy Akingbola (Rev.) as Paul.

Philip has commented on his involvement in the project saying,

Lesley Sharp, who starred opposite Philip in Clocking Off, said,

There will be 6 episodes of the new series, which has recently begun filming in Saddleworth, Yorkshire and Savannah, USA. It is expected it will be available on Sky 1 and online streaming service NOWTV either later this year or early next year.
