Peter Bowker, the creator of the series, said:I wanted to write a love letter to Manchester – warts 'n all – and to do it through a family saga that captured something of the city's pace, life and humour. To attract a cast of this quality and a director of the calibre of
James Strong is incredibly exciting and just about compensates for the presence of a City fan as executive producer in the form of fellow Mancunian, Derek Wax. Philip Glenister who plays Daniel said: "I'm really excited to be involved in such a terrific new drama written by Peter Bowker. Also to be working alongside such an outstanding cast and crew. And of course to be back filming in my adopted home town of Manc [Manchester]!" Derek Wax, one of the executive producers, said he was excited to be part of
From There to Here with Peter Bowker, which differs from their previous collaborations that were based in Manchester (
Occupation and
Flesh and Blood). The series was commissioned by
Danny Cohen and
Ben Stephenson. Tim Bricknell is the producer and the executive producers are Peter Bowker, Derek Wax and Stephen Wright. ==Home media==
