Mad Dogs returns on the 4th June

10/5/2013

Sky have today announced that Mad Dogs will return to our screen on Tuesday 4th June. The series will be four episodes in length and will air weekly at 9pm on Sky 1. Also, as previously revealed by us, the first episode will be available for Sky's on demand customers from the 29th May.

The following series 3 synopsis has been released by Sky:

When we last saw Woody (Max Beesley), Quinn (Philip Glenister), Baxter (John Simm) and Rick (Marc Warren), en route to mainland Spain on the first stage of the journey they hoped would take them back home. When they docked in Morocco they realised their nightmare was far from over. Met by armed guards, a new chapter was set to unfold in this holiday from hell.

The story picks up with the four hapless friends in worse shape than ever before. Held captive in what appears to be a dilapidated prison in the desert, they are all enduring various forms torture and interrogation. They’re not the only inmates either as the feisty Mercedes (Jaime Winstone, Donkey Punch, Made in Dagenham) quickly makes their acquaintance but how well acquainted should they get? Can they trust her? Judgement has never been their strong suit and, behind the wire prison fence, home has never looked farther away.

Another clip has been released, this time from episode 2, in which Woody recounts an old tale to a young boy. (Philip does not appear in this clip, which is why we haven't posted the actual video).

Keep an eye out on next Friday for further news from @Sky1insider, Sky 1's official Twitter account.

Sky Go users to get Mad Dogs S3 Ep1 early?

6/5/2013

Sky have started a new on-demand initiative whereby first episodes of new and returning television shows will be available to be streamed online or through connected Sky boxes before they hit UK screens.

They have started this week with S1 Ep 1 of Hannibal (with an accompanying documentary) and it is being reported that Mad Dogs will also feature in this initiative.

IMDb would also seem to support this with an entry for 'Mad Dogs: Behind the Madness' which they are billing as part of S3. Whether this will be shown on Sky 1 or will be an exclusive for their Sky Go users is as yet, undetermined.

Two of Philip Glenister's earliest TV appearances found online

5/5/2013

Thanks to Theresa and Susan we are able to bring you youtube links for two of Philip Glenister's earliest television appearances.

London Kills Me was a 1991 film that told the story of a man barely twenty who wants desperately to pull out of London's drug world by taking a job as a waiter in a 'normal' restaurant. But to do this he must come up with a "sensible pair of shoes," an item that his homeless meanderings hasn't provided him. Philip was credited as paying 'suited man' and can be seen at 33.58 and 35.04. Here are some stills from the film:

Also in 1991, Philip appeared in an early episode of Drop the Dead Donkey as a character called Harrison. That episode can be seen on 4oDs youtube channel.
