From There to Here Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)


From There to Here Premiered on BBC One on May 22, 2014



From There To Here tells the epic story of a city, an era and a man whose life is changed forever by the events of one summer day.

It's a Saturday morning in the summer of 1996. The day England take on Scotland in the European Championship. In the heart of Manchester, Daniel is trying to build bridges between his dad, Samuel (Bernard Hill), and brother Robbo (Steven Mackintosh). But when the IRA explode a bomb which decimates the city centre, their peace negotiations are cut short, and their lives changed forever.

The men escape serious injury, and Daniel comes to the rescue of Joanne (Liz White), a single mum of two, also caught in the blast. He sees her home safely, realising as he drives past the working class terraces far from his own detached family home, that these are the streets he grew up on, before he was adopted at the age of five.

On the surface Daniel has it all: a family business, two grown-up kids – Charlie (Daniel Rigby) and Louise (Morven Christie), and a comfortable life with his wife, Claire (Saskia Reeves); but he finds that his near-death experience has left him feeling dangerously restless.

Cast: Philip Glenister plays Daniel Cotton, Bernard Hill plays Samuel, Steven Mackintosh plays Robbo, Liz White plays Joanne, Saskia Reeves plays Claire, Daniel Rigby plays Charlie, Morven Christie plays Louise, Ben Ryan Davies plays Ryan, Leon Harrop plays Lee, Ben Batt plays Newell and Chris Jordan plays Peter.

Daniel's double life was bound to catch up with him but the fuss over the photo was over the top and everyone turning up at the hospital after his heart attack was amusing,  Robbo making the exposition in his club look like the IRA has backfired with him now being blackmailed

1x03 Episode 3

The truth about Daniel's double life comes out around his hosital bed was amusing but going from two families to none in a heart beat was the unfortunate consequence, Charlie getting out of his depth as a property developer with the family firm's money was unbelievable but after the shouting Daniel's speech was nice

A Writer’s Journey from There to Here

This BBC Four program with Peter Bowker who writes some of Britain's most compelling television dramas was interesting as it included some great clips From There To Here and the fact he still uses pen and paper was amazing
