Steeltown Murders: First Look Photos

3/5/2023

 
Picture
The BBC have confirmed that four-part series, Steeltown Murders will air on Monday 15th May 2023 at 9pm.

They have also released the artwork for the series (above) and some first look production stills (below).

Set in both 1973 and the early 2000s, Steeltown Murders centres on the hunt to catch the killer of three young women in the Port Talbot area and the remarkable story of how - in the first case of its kind - the mystery was solved almost 30 years later using pioneering DNA evidence.
Contrasting the policing methods of the 1970s with the forensic breakthroughs of the early Noughties, Steeltown Murders is a portrait of a town dealing with the repercussions of an unsolved case three decades on, and asks if justice can ever truly be found.

New Project: Steeltown Murders

8/11/2022

 
The BBC have announced that Philip will be starring in a new drama series 'Steeltown Murders' set to air in 2023. 

Set in both 1973 and the early 2000s, Steeltown Murders centres on the hunt to catch the killer of three young women in the Port Talbot area and the remarkable story of how - in the first case of its kind - the mystery was solved almost thirty years later using pioneering DNA evidence.
Contrasting the policing methods of the 1970s with the forensic breakthroughs of the early Noughties, Steeltown Murders is a portrait of a town dealing with the repercussions of an unsolved case three decades on, and asks if justice can ever truly be found.

Philip will play DCI Paul Bethell, the officer in charge of the case.

​On the role, Philip said:
Ed [Talfen, executive producer]'s scripts are a poignant and compelling read, balancing the tragic events alongside the revolutionary advances in DNA profiling which were crucial in this case and many others since. I’m also very happy to be part of a production filmed in south Wales where I have my own family connections.”
Filming is currently underway in and around south Wales and northern ENgland, ahead of transmission on BBC One and iPlayer in 2023.

Picture
Tonight, during a live-tweeting rewatch of Life on Mars S1, Ep 1, co-creators Matthew Graham and Ashely Pharoah confirmed that they will be revisiting the Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes universe in a "Final Chapter" to the franchise. 

​"We would never make another Mars unless we really had something to say and could push the envelope all over again. Finally we have something," Graham promised.

In a series of tweets, he teased a few details for the upcoming show, including
  • They’re envisaging 4 or 5 episodes
  • It will be set in Manchester and London
  • It will visit the 70s, 80s and an alternate now
  • There will be appearances from the Ford Cortina, Audi Quattro & a Chinese wall of cardboard boxes.
  • DCI Litton will return
  • Keats will very probably return
  • They want to get as many returning characters from both shows as possible
​
There’s no time frame for this, so watch this space for further information.

Video: Inside No 9 Preview

13/2/2017

 
The BBC have released a preview clip from Philip's upcoming episode of Inside No 9. ​Entitled, 'The Bill' the episode synopsis is as follows:
A night out with your friends at a local restaurant, some tapas and a few drinks after the badminton - sounds like a lot of fun. But ultimately, of course, somebody has to pay.
In the clip, which you can see below, Craig (played by Phil) offers to treat his friends and pay for the entire meal. Kevin  (Jason Watkins) thinks that is a great idea, but the others aren't so sure.
The episode will air on Tuesday 21st February at 10pm on BBC2.
