The BBC’s latest drama Steeltown Murders aired its first episode on Monday, May 15 and as ever viewers quickly flocked to social media to share their thoughts. The four-parter tells the horrific true story of the 1973 Port Talbot murders, which remained unsolved until the early Noughties.
Steeltown Murders boasts an all-star cast that is led by Life on Mars’ Philip Glenister and Gavin and Stacey’s Steffan Rhodri. The drama splits its time between being set in the Seventies and the Noughties with actor Scott Arthur playing the same role as Philip - read our interview with him here.
One thing in particular that people were impressed with was Philip’s Welsh accent. Earlier on in the evening the 60-year-old actor, who was born in Middlesex, told Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas on The One Show that he was only “half Welsh”.
