Andy Harries is a Producer British born on 8 april 1954 at Inverness (United-kingdom)
Andrew D. M. Harries (born 7 April 1954) is a British television and film producer. After graduating from Hull University in the 1970s, Harries began his television career on the Granada Television current affairs series World in Action, before moving on to freelance work. He directed and produced programmes for Jonathan Ross's Channel X production company in the 1980s, before being appointed controller of the newly created comedy department at Granada in 1992. Over the next decade he produced and executive produced several critically acclaimed series, including The Royle Family, Cold Feet and The Grimleys.
In 2000 his portfolio was expanded to include Granada's drama productions. He worked on the revivals of Prime Suspect and Cracker, as well as the BAFTA-winning television play The Deal. In 2004 he began work producing The Queen, which was released to critical acclaim in 2006. Though he had spent 14 years with Granada, part of the ITV network, he became increasingly dissatisfied with the management of ITV after its corporate merger in 2003, and publicly criticized the network in 2006. He announced he would not be renewing his contract and departed in 2007 to form Left Bank Pictures. Since 2007, Left Bank has produced the television series Wallander, Strike Back, Married Single Other, the feature film The Damned United, and has several more television series in development.
In addition to the awards won by programmes he has worked on, Harries was given a Special Achievement award by BAFTA in 2007 for his contributions to British television. The same year, he was ranked in The Guardian's Media Top 100, and Broadcast's Top 100 Producers. He is married to novelist and director Rebecca Frayn.
Il a dirigé et produit des programmes pour la compagnie Jonathan Ross Channel X dans les années 1980. C'est lui qui a produit The Royle Family, Cold Feet et The Grimleys en 2003.
Depuis 2007, il a réalisé Strike Back, Married Single Other et The Damned United, des séries télévisées qui ont eu beaucoup de succès au Royaume-Uni. Harries a reçu un prix au BAFTA Awards en 2007, pour ses contributions à la télévision britannique. La même année, il a été classé dans le Top 100 Producers et a été élu « meilleur producteur de l’année ».

In the 1997 general election, Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) becomes Britain's Labour prime minister. However, the Queen (Helen Mirren) is wary of Blair and his pledge to modernise Britain, despite his promises to respect the Royal Family. Three months later, Diana, Princess of Wales dies in a car crash at the Alma Bridge tunnel in Paris. Blair's director of communications, Alastair Campbell (Mark Bazeley), prepares a speech in which Diana is described as the people's princess. The phrase catches on and millions of people across London display an outpouring of grief at Buckingham and Kensington Palaces. Meanwhile, the Royal Family is still at their summer estate in Balmoral Castle. Diana's death sparks division amongst members of the family, with some of the view that since Diana was divorced from Prince Charles (Alex Jennings) a year prior to her death, she was no longer a part of the royal family. They argue that Diana's funeral arrangements are thus best left as a private affair of her noble family, the Spencers. Charles, however, argues that the mother of a future king cannot be dismissed so lightly, and persuades the Queen to authorise the use of an aircraft of the Royal Air Force to bring Diana's body back to Britain.
