The Daily Mail reviews the BBC’s legal drama series “The Split,” describing it as a glossy drama spin-off that brings a “splash of Bollywood” to Manchester. The piece frames the show as part of a wider shift in UK television production and viewing culture toward the Manchester region.
The article notes that the BBC is based in MediaCityUK and references the opening of “Number 10 North” by Andy Burnham. It suggests that, as the BBC and related political and media institutions establish a stronger presence outside London, other TV shows are likewise set up—or perceived—to follow that migration pattern.
Across the limited available excerpts, the focus stays on the show’s tone and setting rather than reporting new plot developments or independent verification of production details. Both provided text snippets convey the same reviewer perspective and context, with no contrasting accounts from other outlets in the supplied material.
