UK: Watch United On BBC Four Tonight



BBC Four will be repeating David Tennant's 2011 drama United tonight at 9.00pm

David stars as Manchester United coach Jimmy Murphy, who singlemindedly drove the club back from the brink of collapse following the 1958 Munich Air Crash that killed 23 people, including 8 players. Jack O'Connell plays the young Bobby Charlton with Dougray Scott as legendary manager Matt Busby. The drama tells the story through the relationship of Murphy and his protégé Charlton.

United was written by Chris Chibnall and directed by James Strong, part of the creative team behind the award winning 2013 series Broadchurch, also starring David. They drew on first-hand interviews with the survivors and their families to tell the inspirational story of a team and community overcoming terrible tragedy.
