Hollywood actor Dougray Scott joins BAFTA and Oscar nominees Sophie Okonedo and Stephen Rea in a new four part drama series Father & Son, co-produced by ITV and RTÉ.
Michael has left behind the life of a gangster and made a new start in Ireland with his pregnant girlfriend. But when his teenage son is caught up in a gangland shooting, he has to pull every string he can to prevent old enemies punishing the imprisoned boy for Michael’s own crimes. Sean (Reece Noi: Grange Hill, Emmerdale, Waterloo Road), however, isn’t interested in getting his Father’s help.
Excellent drama which will have you begging for the next episode. Tense, well acted and packed full of drama. “Father & Son” will air on Monday 7th June 2010 at 9pm on ITV1. Put a note in your diary.
In This Story: Ireland
Ireland is an island in the North Atlantic. It is separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel, the Irish Sea, and St George’s Channel.
Geopolitically, Ireland is divided between the Republic of Ireland (officially named Ireland), which covers five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. As of 2016, 4.8 million people live in the Republic of Ireland, and 1.8 million live in Northern Ireland.
The Irish climate is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and thus very moderate, and winters are milder than expected for such a northerly area, although summers are cooler than those in continental Europe. Rainfall and cloud cover are abundant.
A strong Irish culture exists, as expressed through Gaelic games, Irish music and the Irish language. The island’s culture shares many features with that of Great Britain, including the English language, and sports such as association football, rugby, horse racing, and golf.
ITV (LSE: ITV) is a broadcasting company which was formed from a merger of Granada plc and Carlton Communications in 2004. It holds Channel 3 broadcasting licences in England, Wales, Southern Scotland and the Isle of Man.
