Bloodlands creator Chris Brandon on growing up in Strangford and writing first major TV series
When writer Chris Brandon first came up with the idea for Bloodlands five years ago, he never for a moment thought that the end product would be a prime-time series on BBC One. "I think, in my head I was like, I'm gonna make this for a fiver with my best friend," laughs the 39-year-old, who grew up in Strangford. "I'd been working as an actor in London for about 10 years and then I started writing and I've been doing that full-time now for five years." Bloodlands is Chris's first original drama series commission and the first drama from newly-formed production company HTM Television.
