#FromTheretoHere nominated at the Seoul International Drama Festival

29/4/2015

'From There to Here', Philip's BBC drama about the 1996 Manchester bombing, has been entered into the 2015 Seoul International Drama Awards in the Mini-Series category.

Due to this, there is also a chance the drama will be shown on Korean television. This year, for the first time, a select few of the entries will be shown on four of Korea's top TV channels to maximise the publicity of the awards.

Once all entries are in and the first round of judging is completed, the organising committee will look through the nominated shows and then make a list of recommended shows to broadcast in August. This list will be then distributed to the TV stations and they can make a selection.

Fingers crossed for Philip and From There to Here.

The Seoul International Drama Awards will be held on 10th September 2015.

Finale of #FromTheretoHere pulls in 3.2m viewers.

6/6/2014

The final episode of From There to Here won the 9pm slot last night with 3.2 million viewers tuning in to see the revelation, and subsequent fall-out, of Daniel's double life.

This gave the show a 15.2% share, beating it's nearest rival Big Brother which gained 2.03m (10.2%). ITV's The Life of Ryan, came in third.

This is an increase on episode two but a drop on the first episode, indicating that a significant number of people watched the second episode on iPlayer. Generally, reviews and comments on social networking sites have been positive, especially the ones about Philip himself.

If you missed it, the whole series is available to watch again on BBC iPlayer for the next 6 days. And you can purchase the DVD through Amazon, via our fansite shop (£12.50)

@BBCOne North West to air a behind the scenes look at #FromTheretoHere

30/5/2014

BBC viewers in the North West are to get a special treat this Sunday with a look behind the scenes of Philip's latest drama 'From There to Here'.

In Love Letter to Manchester, the BBC go behind the scenes with the creator, Peter Bowker. The writer reveals how the North West inspires him and actors including Philip Glenister, Chris Eccleston and Sarah Parish explain why he's now in such demand.

We first heard about this documentary back in Fabruary when camera-man, Paul Walker, tweeted photos of him interviewing Philip and his From There to Here and Big School co-star, Daniel Rigby.

The BBC have also released the following clip from the programme, which contains a small contribution from Philip at the end.

Love Letter to Manchester will air on Sunday 1st June at 22.55 on BBC One North West (and then to all regions via iPlayer shortly after broadcast)

#FromTheretoHere takes 47% ratings dip in second week

30/5/2014

The second episode of Manchester-based drama 'From There to Here' was watched by 2.4 million people, giving the show an 11% audience share. This is a 47% decrease on the previous episode.

The poor performance was most probably down to the all out-scheduling war that ITV seem to have been waging this week, with nightly Britain's Got Talent and Coronation Street.

Obviously we still have to wait for the iPlayer figures, which could bring the secind episode more in-line with the first and, despite the seemingly massive drop in popularity there's still hope the third and final episode of the drama can rebound when ITV's schedule gets back on track.

VOTE NOW! Philip longlisted for 2014 TV Choice Awards

27/5/2014

Philip has been long-listed for Best Actor in the 2014 TV Choice Awards for his new BBC Drama From There to Here.

The show itself is also up for 'Best New Drama' and Liz White is nominated for 'Best Actress'

You can vote on the TV Choice website. As From There to Here has only just aired and is still being broadcast, there is a chance it will be overshadowed by dramas that have already been concluded so it's really important that as many of Phil's fans vote as possible.

Philip's BBC comedy Big School is also long-listed for Best Comedy and Mad Dogs for Best Drama

Voting on the long-list will remain open until midnight on Friday 20 June and the short-list will appear in TV Choice Magazine on Tuesday 1st July.
