Channel 4 has announced its drama lineup for the rest of 2012 and beginning of 2013.
John Simm is to star in Here and There, a one-off two-hour drama from Michael Winterbottom (The Trip) about a family living through Simm's character's prison sentence. The programme is expected to air in September or October.
Peter Mullan (Tyrannosaur, War Horse) is to play an ex-crime boss from Brighton in four-part series The Fear. His character Richie Becket's family firm, now run by his two sons, has to deal with a ruthless new rival gang of Albanians. In volatile circumstances, the erratic, extreme behaviour of Becket threatens to inflame the situation.
The Fear is scheduled for November/December 2012.
