Steel River Blues

Steel River Blues

"Steel River Blues" is a British television drama serial first broadcast in September 2004 on ITV. Produced by Ken Horn, it is based on the working and private lives of a group of firefighters in Middlesbrough. Critics were quick to dub the new drama "Middlesbrough's Burning" or "Teesside's Burning", after the popular fire-fighting drama that preceded it, "London's Burning", yet there are very few similarities between the two, apart from them being about the business of firefighting.

Like its predecessor, "Steel River Blues" is an ensemble drama without any single starring part, though perhaps the best-known actor is Daniel Casey, who was previously a co-star in ITV's ratings banker, "Midsomer Murders". Other stars include Joanne Farrell as Firefighter Nicky Higgins, Stuart Graham as Station Officer Bill McGlinchy, Daniel Ainsleigh as Firefighter Jeremy Lloyd, Satnam Bhogal as Firefighter Sunil Gupta

The show's title song is performed by Middlesbrough-born Chris Rea.

It was announced in January 2005 that the series would not be recommissioned.
