From There to Here
Created by Peter Bowker, From There To Here is set in the aftermath of the 1996 Arndale bombing and follows Daniel Cotton, a Manchester family man who is torn between the life he wants and the life he could have. This is a funny, characterful and moving drama about a man whose life is rocked to the core a family saga which begins in Manchester in the summer of 1996, on the day when an IRA bomb exploded in the city center. The story spans the four years that changed Manchester and the country forever; from Footballs Coming Home in 1996, to New Labour sweeping to power in 1997, and finally to the hangover after the Millennium celebrations of 2000. Against the feel-good backdrop of Euro 96, it maps the emotional shock waves generated by that bomb in the lives of two parallel families from different sides of the tracks.

June 1996: Mancunian Daniel Cotton is married to Clare with two grown up children Louise and Charlie and manages a sweet factory with his gruff, adoptive father Samuel. Samuel is estranged from and dismissive of Daniel's half brother Robbo, who runs a night club but the entire family is obsessed with football so Daniel attempts a reconciliation with all of them watching a televised Euro 96 match at a local pub. A terrorist bomb destroys the pub but all three survive, along with Joanne the pub cleaner, a single mother with two small boys and Daniel takes her home. They meet again and he is attracted to and kisses her, which perplexes her as she thought they were 'just mates'. Robbo now feels he has a charmed life and bets £10,000 on England winning the overall tournament but the team is predictably beaten by Germany and Robbo blows up his club for the insurance to regain his losses. Daniel tries to stop him but is too late.
