On Sunday 28th July 2013, Philip Glenister and his wife Beth Goddard attended the Audi International Polo at Guards Polo Club, Egham. Philip (who at some point had to put a tie on!) and Beth, who looked absolutely stunning, were all smiles as they watched the match and partook of the refreshments provided. The Audi International Polo is one of the world's greatest spectator polo days. Sponsored by Audi for the first time in 2012 and part of its three-match England test match series, this great day of polo is organised by Guards Polo Club and the Hurlingham Polo Association. This year, it also included a match between England and the USA for the Westchester Cup, a trophy that has not been played for on British soil in 16 years. England won that last match back in 1997 - captained by Howard Hipwood - and were keen to replicate that performance today. And they did. England were victorious with a 12-11 win; a golden goal the only thing separating the two teams. Also in attendance was Philip's Life on Mars co-star, John Simm and his wife Kate McGowan, Laurence Fox, Billie Piper, Matt Dawson and HRH the Prince of Wales (who presented the trophies). You can view more photos in our dedicated Audi International Polo gallery.
The BBC have released the first pictures of Philip Glenister as Mr Gunn in upcoming comedy 'Big School'. PE teacher and would-be lothario Mr Gunn is most definitely interested in the new French teacher, Miss Postern - and most of the other female teachers in the school. The alpha male of the Greybridge staff room, which isn’t saying much, Mr Gunn lives in a world where Jeremy Clarkson is a revered philosopher and living with your mum despite being middle-aged is totally fine - “She does all the cooking, all the washing, all the cleaning. I’m living the dream.” Mr Gunn is determined to “plough” Miss Postern – probably on Friday night when his mum is at seniors’ zumba.   The BBC also released this video interview with Philip, in which he discusses the show and his character. (Warning: this video contains spoilers) Big School will air the week beginning 10th August (day and time to be confirmed).
