BBC Manchester are scheduled to begin shooting the pilot for new dark comedy, “Pearly Gates” directed by none other than David Jason.
The wonderful new show about funeral directors in the North West will hopefully be turning into a full comedy series, and is also starring our very own Roger Grainger as a vicar for the funerals.

We wish all the best to the Beeb, David, and Roger in this new project.

Please be sure to check out all of the exciting new and experienced talent we have joining the Actors Direct books this Autumn.
With currently 10 new actors we are particularly proud to present Darren Langford as a newest member. After 2 years as Spencer in Hollyoaks he has returned to the stage as Squire McNasty, Romeo, and Guy of Gisbourne, as well as his recent success as Colin in Thrasher at the Royal Exchange studio (click here for review).
A rising star with a familiar face he will be returning as ‘Sinistra’ in Blackburn for this years Pantomime.
