Episode Description

The latest episode of Stick to Rugby, brought to you by Defender, welcomes actor Philip Glenister to the panel alongside Scott Quinnell, Tom Shanklin and Katy Daley-McLean! 🎬🏉


Philip opens up about life as Gene Hunt, the impact of Life on Mars, and how sudden fame changed everything... including being chased by paparazzi at the height of the show’s success. 😳


He shares brilliant behind-the-scenes stories from his career, including nearly hitting Sean Connery whilst playing gold, his honest views on how streaming is changing television, and why he believes the industry isn’t what it used to be. 🎥⛳️


Away from acting, Philip talks about his love of sport, the crossover between rugby and performance, and why live sport still delivers something TV drama can’t replicate.


Funny, insightful and full of incredible stories, this is a hugely entertaining chat with one of Britain’s most recognisable actors. 🌍
