The Only Way Is Harpurhey in Manchester's answer to TOWIE
2 Feb 2012 10:54
Tanned toned bodies, glamorous models and posh nightclubs could be making their way north – as Manchester’s answer to the hit TV show TOWIE. TV bosses are making a new fly-on-the-wall drama, following residents and community leaders as they go about their lives for the next six months. And it is more likely to be a few pints in the Embassy, sun-starved bodies and your typical northern lass that feature in the Harpurhey version.
be made by Dragonfly TV, the company behind reality shows One Born Every Minute, The Hotel and Kill It, Cook It, Eat It.
The show will focus on the ward as a whole, but will concentrate on the estate around the Shiredale pub.
Cameras will follow around 20 residents, including the Rev Mike McGurk, vicar at Christ Church on Rochdale Road.
Filmmakers have already been to Sunday service at the church and Mike says he is keen to show the area in a positive light. He said: "I am a member of the Harpurhey community and it’s part of the role of the parish priest to be involved in that community.
"The indices of deprivation and the statistics don’t lie – there is a lot of poverty here and it is one of the most deprived parts of the country.
"But one of the things I’m keen to show is that there is a lot of hope in this community.
"There are great people who live in this estate and as a church that’s been here for 183 years, there’s a lot we can do to show the area in a positive light."
Councillor Pat Karney, ward councillor for Harpurhey, said: "This show will put Harpurhey on the map.
"We get a lot of negative press, but I think this will prove that this area is full of good, honest people.
"We all know this but I think it will prove to the rest of the country what we already know.
"So forget Essex – the only way is Harpurhey."
