Mad Dogs Series 3, Episode 1 review

29/5/2013

 
Here at Philip Glenister Fans we have taken full advantage of Sky's decision to show the first episode of Mad Dogs Series 3 a week early via their On Demand service and we now bring you our review of episode one. It is (mostly) spoiler free, but we will put it under a cut for those who don't wish to read. Suffice to say, it's a very good episode.

We’ll admit, it was with slight trepidation that we sat down to watch the first episode of Mad Dogs series 3. Whilst we love Phil (obviously) and support all his projects we thought series 2 had gone off the ball a little and lost some of the charm of series 1. But the trailers suggest that this new series is going to restore Mad Dogs to its former glory and we’re happy to say that, based on the first episode, it does just that.

After a quick (and very helpful) recap of the previous two series, the first episode of series 3 picks up where the final episode of series 2 left off. After being double crossed by drug dealer McKenzie, the boys (Quinn, Baxter, Woody and Rick) find themselves being held in a desert prison in the middle of nowhere.

(On a purely aesthetic note, the orange jump suits they are forced to wear do nothing for the four main stars but their tanned skin certainly does!)

They soon meet feisty ex-soldier, Mercedes (played by Jamie Winstone) who reveals exactly where they are. It doesn’t take long for Quinn to become suspicious of her though, resulting in a rather amusing scene where she pushes him to the floor.

The people holding them quickly figure out which of the lads is the weakest link in the chain and employ ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ to find out what happened and then release them. But is everything as it seems?

Emotions run high as the episode continues and just when you think you know what’s happening the story twists once more and the lads find themselves in the worst position imaginable.

Cris Cole delivers a great tension filled opener complete with some great one-liners (including , “I mean, extremists; they don’t shop and M&S”). We also welcome back Adrian Shergold as director (after a break during series 2) and that may be why this episode feels more faithful to the original series. But what makes this episode is the stellar performances from the four main cast members. Absolutely mesmerising.

The episode ends on a cliff hanger that is sure to make you want more. We certainly do and we can’t wait to see how the boy deal with their current situation. We suspect, having watched the ‘next time…’ preview at the end of this episode (which contains a nice shot of Quinn’s naked chest!), that some will cope better than others…

Mad Dogs returns to Sky 1 on Tuesday 4th June at 9pm. Sky’s On Demand users can get it from now via their Sky boxes.

Philip at the BMW PGA Championship Q&A

28/5/2013

 
Earlier in the week we reported that Philip had competed in the BMW PGA Pro-Am competition in aid or Shooting Star CHASE. Well, on Saturday he returned to Wentworth to take in some golf and to be put through his paces in 'Cotter's Questions' alongside golfer Justin Rose.

BBC sports broadcaster Andrew Cotter interviewed both stars and they also took questions from the audience.
Thanks to Blaine Conway (@BlaineyC) we are able to bring you a short video of Philip answering two questions; one about 'Life on Mars' and one about the day in the life of an actor. We recommend viewing this video in full screen.

The first is a second trailer which, be warned, contains more spoilers than the first one. The second is a preview clip from series 3, episode 4 in which tensions run high between the four-some as they discuss what could have been and whose fault it was that they have ended up where they are.

Both videos can be seen on our dedicated Mad Dogs Videos page. (Scroll down to series 3.)

Philip Glenister competes in (but doesn't win) the PGA Pro-Am

23/5/2013

 
On Wednesday, Philip joined a host of other celebrities to play in the Pro-Am curtain raiser to this week's PGA tournament at Wentworth in support of Shooting Star CHASE. Also present were Jamie Redknapp, Andrew Strauss, Chris Robshaw and Theo Walcott plus another Shooting Star patron Chris Evans.

The amateurs were challenged to take part in a ‘hit the green’ competition on the 14th hole, a tough, uphill par 3 in return for a donation to the charity, which was generously supported by all the players.

The winners of the competition were Ian Poulter, Ian Botham and Jamie Carragher and Ian Wright, with a five shot win and a total of 20 under par. Tied for second were the teams of 2006 BMW PGA Champion David Howell, and 2013 Open de Espana winner Raphael Jacquelin.

The event raised more than £150,000 for Shooting Star CHASE, with £20,000 coming from each professional golfer donating their appearance fees. Find out more about the fantastic work that Shooting Star CHASE does on their official website.

PGA Championship Celebrity Pro-Am Teams Confirmed

20/5/2013

 
The BMW PGA Championship has today announced the teams for Wednesday’s highly anticipated Celebrity Pro-Am competition taking place at Wentworth Club, Surrey in support of charity, Shooting Star CHASE.

Each professional golfer is teamed up with a celebrity (some with more than one!), and Philip has been teamed with German golfer, Marcel Siem who has been on the European Tour since 2002 and won their 'Golfer of the Month' in March this year.

There will be two sessions of play on Wednesday and Philip will be playing in the afternoon session, which is due to kick off at 13.30

Here are the teams for the afternoon session:
Professionals
Ian Poulter
Francesco Molinari
David Howell
Marcel Siem
Raphael Jacquelin
Alvaro Quiros
Lee Westwood
Graeme McDowell
Celebrities/Amateurs
Sir Ian Botham and Jamie Redknapp
Daniele Massaro, Gianfranco Zola and Andriy Shevchenko
Ian Wright, Ady Williams and Glenn Little
Philip Glenister
Jason Atherton, Rob Bonnett and Tiff Needell
Jodie Kidd, Naga Munchetty and Di Dougherty
Glenn Hoddle, Greg Rusedski and Vassos Alexander
Chris Evans
This year’s Celebrity Pro-Am will also see the introduction of a fun new rule: “Use Your Pro”. This new feature gives amateur players the opportunity to call on their professional team-mate to play them out of trouble. At least that is the theory! Each amateur is entitled to “Use Your Pro” once in the round and can call on their ‘Pro’ whenever they want; whether it be in an emergency, as the result of a wayward shot, or tactically, to get it up on the green on some of the longer, trickier Par Threes. 

We're not really up on golf here at PhilipGlenisterFans but we hope Philip will not be at a disadvantage because he is on his own with a professional.
