From There to Here available to pre-order on DVD

Philip's forthcoming BBC drama, 'From There to Here' is now available to pre-order on DVD from Amazon, priced at £17.99. (We're sure it's available from other retailers as well but remember, by using the Amazon link above or buying it from our shop, you will be helping to raise money for one of the charities that Philip supports, at no extra cost to yourself.)

The DVD will be released by Acorn Media on the 9th June 2014, which seems to add some support to our suspicions that the show will be broadcast w/c 17th May. The BBFC has rated the DVD as a 15, but as yet there is no cover art for the release. However, there is a more detailed description of the production, which we have put under the spoiler button below.

According to Daniel Cotton (Philip Glenister), there are three battles that shape our lives: nature versus nurture; free will versus destiny; and City versus United.

Saturday 15th June 1996, an ordinary day in Manchester. England is preparing to play Scotland in the Euros. Daniel has brought together his adoptive brother Robbo (Steven Mackintosh) and father Samuel (Bernard Hill) in the hope of healing a family rift, when they are caught up in a massive terrorist attack and from this moment Daniel's life changes forever. In helping Joanne (Liz White) escape the debris Daniel realises he wants to be someone else, someone more exciting...

The trigger for major changes in Daniel's life and the reinvention of Manchester City Centre, the bomb does much more than cause devastation. Spanning four years, From There to Here brings to life a family, a city and an era in a way that no one who watches it will ever forget.
